Our Ministries

Coordinators: Todd Hamm

Our R.A.P.I.D.S. group is aimed at helping our Youth in grades 6 - 12 to create Christ based social ties and fellowship bonds that will lead them to further their spiritual development and growth. We will strive to arm them with the spiritual weapons needed to withstand the influences and temptations of today’s world. The R.A.P.I.D.S. Youth Ministry is designed to support all of our Youth programs, such as Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes, Carolina Bible Camp, Youth Rallies, etc, while offering new opportunities for fellowship and spiritual growth.

The goal of R.A.P.I.D.S. is to offer additional avenues to train and develop our Youth into strong Christian young men and women with the Faith skills needed to stay strong against the pressures of their peers and temptations of the outside world. We hope to provide opportunities for our Youth to combine and use the skills they learn from all parts of our Youth programs - like Lads, CBC, Youth Rallies, Bible Classes. We want to prepare them address and cope with issues faced by teens today.  

R.A.P.I.D.S. will meet twice a month. At least one of those meetings will be held on Sundays from 5:00pm - 7:00pm, at our Deep River building. Those Sunday gatherings will include a meal, fellowship time, singing, and a devotional - much like our Small Groups, but directed at just our Youth.

Other R.A.P.I.D.S. events will take place at different times and locations, and will vary by month. Those events can be fun weekend social outings like our recent trip to Carowinds, travel to a nearby Youth Rally, bowling, service events in the community, or gatherings with the youth of sister congregations.
