Students

Most students live busy lives that rarely slow down.  The student ministry at Yates seeks to create relevant environments for them to relax, hang out with friends, learn, worship, and serve in our community.  Our goal is to reach students in the Triangle with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
 
Yates youth enjoy being part of an active youth ministry.  In addition to Bible Study, Wednesday Night, and Weekends, we encourage participation in a wide variety of activities:  Metamorphosis (Disciple-Now), Seasonal Retreats (Camp Cheerio, Xtreme Winter, Revolve), M-Fuge (summer missions), Centrifuge (summer camp), and Summer Programs (In-home Bible study & After-Events).   
 
Our youth have started doing a missions project each month. They have recently gleaned local sweet potato fields to provide food for local food banks and filled boxes for Operation Christmas Child through Samaritan’s Purse.  We want our youth to be trained as missionaries for Christ with a keen awareness of the needs of other people. 
 
Our college student ministry is centered in a Bible Study class that meets every Sunday morning at 9:45 in room 310 of our Education Building. It also provides opportunities for mission work through Habitat for Humanity and social connections with regular gatherings of college students in relaxed settings.
