Maricamp Students
Maricamp Students is the youth group here at Maricamp Road Church of Christ for students in grades 6-12. We hang out, do outreach, learn about God, go on trips, serve those in need, do fundraisers, eat together, laugh together, cry together, and glorify God together. We’re a fun, friendly, close-knit family that’s dedicated to God and one another. Our mission is to equip students to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.
Our youth group is full of students and adult leaders who are on a journey to follow Jesus. We care about each other, and we want to glorify God and live life to the fullest (John 10:10). Currently, we’re meeting on Sunday nights from 5-7:15pm, and we have students from all walks of life. We also meet on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 7pm. If you’re looking for a place to connect with God and your peers, you’ve found us! Our youth minister Steven would love to get the chance to know you. Families, you’re welcome to join us too!
Join us each week as we learn more about what God has in store for us as His followers. We won’t judge you or look down on you- each of us are trying to grow closer to God together. Remember, it’s not about perfection, it’s about progress. Now that you’ve read all about what we do, come see who we are. We’d love to have you visit!
