Youth Ministry
with Middle Schoolers & High Schoolers
Candlewood values teens!
Students in grades 6-12 are in the midst of one of the most important decades of their lives. We want to bring God's way and truth and life to bear on the many decisions each student faces.
Our desire is to surround every teen with other students and adults who are growing on the journey of life. Straight answers and biblical principles are a hallmark. You'll find a welcome, loving place to express quesions and even doubts.

"Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to
everyone in the house. In the same way, let your
light shine before others, that they may see your
good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:15-16
We hide our light by being quiet when we should speak,
going along with the crowd,
denying the light,
letting sin dim our light,
not explaining our light to others,
ignoring the needs of others.
