In addition the weekend is filled with fun activities that include snow tubing, sledding, ice-skating, ice hockey, and snow football. Plus team building games, indoor wall climbing, basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, inflatable games and pedal carts.

Outreach Events

Our teens participate in various outreach events including helping at the Orwigsburg Food Pantry, or working with local missions groups or charitable organizations. 

 

Teen Sunday School

Every Sunday @ 9 am - Chapel

Our Teen Sunday School takes place in the lower level of the Chapel @ 9 am. Our curriculum is entitled 'Connect The Testaments'. Much of what we learn serves an immediate purpose, but God's Word has eternal life. That is why it is vital we seek his Spirit through prayer and Bible study. This study challenges our teens through reading the Word, thought provoking questions, and life application to properly exegete the Bible. The class is taught by Micah Ruch, Jared Williams and Ariana Ansel.

 

Boundaries in Dating

Wednesdays @ 6:30 pm

Stiven and Blanca Sanchez are teaching a class for teens and young adults that will help us understand how to make healthy choices and grow healthy relationships. This class will provide insights for romance to help you grow in freedom, honesty, and self-control as you pursue heathy dating limits.  ‘Boundaries In Dating’ will help you deal with four critical concerns: you and your boundaries; whom should I date; solving

dating problems when you’re part of the problem; and solving dating problems when your date is the problem. This class meets every other Wednesday.

 

Nursery, Children's Church & A/V Attendants

Each Sunday, our teens assist the adult volunteers by woring in our nursery and children's church groups. They also help out in our audio visual department on Sunday mornings operating projection and sound equipment.

Kimmels teens volunteer at our annual Easter Egg Hunt held every Palm Sunday afternoon, and help our at the annual Orwigsburg Heritage Day celebration plus other events throughout the year.
