Youth Ministries at Woods Chapel has some great stuff for you to check out and get connected. We've got Sunday School, Youth Group, Synago, retreats, lock-ins--you name it, we got it. The Breakfast Club, our 9:05 Sunday School, meets in the Student Ministry Building to eat some excellent grub, and watch a video to generate discussion. Youth Group is where you can bring friends to a fun environment where we grow together in our relationships with each other and Christ through games, worship, and cool teaching. We meet in the Student Ministry Building on Sunday nights from 7-8:30 pm. Synago is our program of student-led small groups of 5-10 people that provide encouragement, compassion, accountability, true community, and forgiveness--with lots of laughter.
