the LIFT

Wednesdays at theLIFT — Ever have one of those weeks? Stuck in the routine of classes, homework, job, same old-same old… Sounds like your week could use a lift. Lucky you- we have just what you need. theLIFT happens every Wednesday night from 7-9pm and is open to students in 6th-12th grade. There’s great music, crazy games, interesting talks, and loads of cool folks to hang out with. Need friends? We got ‘em! Come experience God and have the best night of your week.

Discipleship — As followers of Jesus, it’s time we got serious about making much of Him in our lives. What better way to do that than with some great friends? Each week at theLIFT, right after a talk from the youth pastor, we break up into small groups. These groups are divided by gender and grade. This is a time to get to know one another, talk about the night’s teaching, and pray for each other. It also gives everyone a chance to connect to folks their own age- automatic friends- what more could you ask for? Each group is led by at least two of our amazing Mentors who have a deep desire to disciple the young people of CTR and help them navigate through their teenage years. And it’s a safe place to share your heart, listen to others do the same, and receive guidance from the Word. A pretty cool plus is that those amazing mentors will be praying for you and checking up on you during the week. Wow. We must really like you.

Monthly Activities — We really like to have fun and have a strong aversion to all things boring. So, every month we do something off campus- bowling, skating, swimming, etc.- if it’s fun, we’ll probably do it. Wanna come? You should. Get details of this month’s event at theLIFT.

Summertime — Every summer, we take a Roadtrip. What’s better than 10 hours on a bus with loads of teenagers? Lots of things actually, but we do it anyway. We get our fill of rollercoasters, waterslides and overpriced theme park food and then we head to Youth America camp in OKC. We pack all of this into 8 days and come home wiped out and road weary but forever changed. There’s no better way to spend your summer! Get details at theLIFT.
