Connekkt Youth Ministry 

Excuses are the cornerstone for students who avoid church. Irrelevant. Repetitive. Dull. Could it be these are valid concerns? Relevancy is important. Unhealthy repetition is damaging. Dullness is…well…dull. We are well aware of the countless excuses lurking around present-day teenagers, and our leadership team is committed to providing the solution – excitement.

Our purpose is to help students (middle and high school) encounter God's love and become a generation that emerges passionately with Christ. 

Our mission is to create experiences that will lead students to a life of faith and service. 

Heard that before? Read on…  

Sunday Morning Worship is church for middle school students on Sunday morning. After worship with the entire community Middle School students gather for a separate service designed for them, where we explore God’s Truth through practical teaching, fun ice breakers, drama and media ministries. We currently have a core group of about 30-40 youth (middle and high school who attend on Sunday mornings.

Our high school students are in the main service with the exception of one Sunday a month where they serve in the Children's Ministry or other areas of church.

Outings & Trips occur every six weeks, depending on scheduled events, and provide students the chance to connect with each other outside of regular weekly activities. Excitement is never lacking at these events.   

Missions is at the heart of everything we do. When possible we include a missional opportunity even in the fun activities. For example, part of a recent scavenger hunt focused on collecting food for families in need. We regularly partner with Love Wins and the Raleigh Rescue Mission on a variety of projects.       

Winter Summit is the most anticipated retreat of the year. Culture is distracting. Life is demanding. Everyone needs to retreat. During this event students will explore God’s truth through practical teaching, engaging worship, drama and media presentations and plenty of high-energy activities. Did we mention skiing and snow boarding? 

Higher Ground Summer Camp is a life-changing summer experience. Quality recreational activities and events combined with solid Christian principles and values, students rave about Higher Ground Summer Camp. In addition to daily sports and recreation, students will attend inspiring praise and worship, meaningful chapels, and interactive small groups. In addition to 90% attendance from our youth, about 20-30 adult volunteers from our church also attend Higher Ground and rave about the experience.

Our youth are INCREDIBLY active as you can see by the postings on the Connections Facebook group page.

Our team wants to do everything possible to welcome newcomers and answer any questions you might have. Hopefully you will decide to come experience for yourself the incredible ways God is moving with Connekkt Youth Ministry. 

Below is a year in review video for 2014.

In 2015 our entire youth ministry became a part of Ekklesia Church.
