Designed for youth, grades 6 through 12, the youth ministry program of Christ the Lord inspires growing relationships with Christ and with one another. Combining learning, fellowship, and service events, this program is enthusiastically attended by our youth. Contact Vickie Davis, Director of Youth Ministry or Keith James, Director of High School Youth for more details on the following ministries. Where we need help from parents/caring adults:
Friday, March 9th, 8pm – Saturday, March 10th, noon Fasting begins after breakfast on Friday, March 9th, and ends with our lunch on Saturday, March 10th. This is a JUICE FAST. There will be juice provided throughout the event, and youth are invited to bring their own as well (no soda or orange juice). We will meet at the church on Friday, March 9th, at 8:00pm. Through fun and fellowship (and hunger) we will open our eyes and hearts to a bigger understanding and awareness of hunger, both in the world and here in our community. Fasting is a personal commitment. Your son/daughter will be responsible for his/her own participation. In other words, we will not be ‘policing’ them to see if they are ‘cheating’ or not. If your son/daughter is not physically capable of fasting for 30 hours, he or she CAN still participate. Why this event? Our hope is that youth will gain a better understanding and awareness of the hunger around them. There is a voluntary request of $5 per youth to help offset costs. Friends are welcome! Sign up outside Keith’s or Vickie’s offices.
What: The youth at Christ the Lord will host a yard sale to benefit the National Youth Gathering. When: The Yard Sale will be Saturday, March 24, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Drop off: Drop off any donations, you have for the sale, at the church from 8 a.m. to noon on the following Sundays: January 29, February 26, and March 18. No clothing please. Big Items: Contact Jerry Baumgart to arrange for pick-up of large items.

As the name implies, it is a retreat for youth throughout the state of Georgia, in grades 6th through 12th. Our church youth will travel together and will be staying together in cabins, so this is an easy get together for those youth who may not have been with us on any retreats yet.

Ways to Serve:
 Confirmation Class Who: Youth in grades 6-8 When: 16 Sunday evenings throughout the school year Time: 5:00 – 7:00 pm (Dinner included) Contact: Vickie Davis Our Confirmation Ministry is designed to help families (child and parents) to LIVE out their Holy Baptism. Each Learning Event begins with a meal, and then the youth gather in the sanctuary for a lesson taught by a Pastor or Vickie Davis. The youth then break into grade-based small groups for more in-depth discussion led by an adult. This structure offers time to build strong relationships among the youth, to discuss key faith issues, and to plan fellowship and service projects throughout the year. The “Affirmation of Baptism” for our 8th graders takes place on Pentecost Sunday. We use “Here We Stand” Confirmation curriculum, produced by Augsburg Fortress. Ways to Serve:
 10 am Sunday School Who: Children and Youth ages 4 years to 12th grade When: Weekly, following the Gwinnett County School Schedule Contact: Diane Thomas 9:00 Sunday school offers a traditional classroom setting for ages four years through sixth grade. Classroom teachers instruct the children on the Bible and enjoy fellowship with their group. 10:00 Sunday school is offered for students ages four years through high school. Preschool and elementary children enjoy small groups that rotate through centers: worship, crafts and games. Each center activity is based on the day’s Bible lesson. Middle school and high school youth have a traditional classroom setting using a curriculum focusing on the Bible and today’s issues. Parent/Toddler Sunday School is offered the first Sunday of the month at the 9:00 service. Bible lessons provide parents the opportunity to see their faith through the eyes of their children and see more clearly their role as Christian parents. At the same time, children and parents can build relationships with other families who have very young children.
