“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12
Elementary Programming
Junior Church: Hey, kids! If you’re between 5-9 years old, come join us in the fellowship hall during either 1st or 2nd service for a time of worship and learning just for you. We’ll have a Bible lesson, refreshments, and activities to help you learn more about loving God and loving each other!
W.A.S.P.: The Wednesday After-School Program is a chance for kids to release some steam after school, from school dismissal until 5:30 p.m.! So if you’re in K-5th grade, grab a ride on the church bus from school to the church for games, refreshments, a Bible lesson, and lots of chances to learn about God and His powerful love!
Junior High – High School Programming
Junior High Youth Group: If you’re in 6th-8th grade, we’d love to have you come to youth group on Sunday nights from 6 to 7:30 p.m. We have games to build friendships, a light meal for fellowshipping together, along with Bible lessons geared towards you!
Senior High Youth Group: For students in 9th-12th grade, we invite you to join us on Wednesdays from 6-8 p.m. We enjoy a meal together, a time of worship through music, and lessons to help each student grow more into Christlikeness, from wherever they are.
Hebrews: For any and all 6th-12th grade students who want a fun Friday night, come out to the church on Friday nights from 8-11 p.m. (9-12 on nights in the fall when there are home football games). It’s a casual time to hang out with your friends, play games, and build relationships that last far beyond high school.
Special Programs
V.B.S.: Vacation Bible School is an annual, week-long celebration of Jesus’ love for kids! Kids from preschool up to 8th grade have a chance to come spend a few hours at the church each day, learning Biblical messages with all your senses! A week of musical worship, games, snacks, lessons, and crafts culminates in a special program for your whole family.
Camp Illiana: Throughout each summer, there are weeks of camp for each age group at Camp Illiana (www.campilliana.org) a beautiful and secure campus outside Washington, IN. At camp, you will have opportunities to go outside your comfort zone with their challenge courses, build friendships that last, grow in Biblical knowledge, and ultimately come away with a deeper sense of God’s love and community.
CIY: The Christ in Youth organization exists to teach students how to become Kingdom Workers – people who love and serve Jesus and expand His kingdom. There are two events BRCC participates in: CIY Believe, a two-day event for Junior High students, and CIY MOVE, a weeklong event for High School students. Both events involve traveling to a hosting college campus to dive in to worship and teaching that is specific to each age group, to lead them into a deeper understanding of Jesus and the exciting plans he has for each and every student.
