What we want for teenagers is the same as what we want for adults. We want them to learn to love and follow Jesus, live in community with God’s people, and make disciples. We believe that will be best accomplished by strategically including them in the regular rhythms of the church.
We also realize that teenagers are in some ways a people group unto themselves, and we want to plan some things specifically with them in mind.
Our vision for Remedy Teens is shaped by our call as a church to make disciples. We want to see teenagers come to know and love Jesus Christ, grow in spiritual maturity, and in turn make disciples.
Biblically, we’d say parents have the primary responsibility of spiritually leading and discipling their children (Deut. 4.9 & 6.7; Eph. 6.4), and the local church comes alongside to equip, encourage, and help.
Our primary goals for Remedy Teens are to:
Remedy Teens (6th-12th grade) meet in a home every other Sunday evening from 5-7pm to eat together, hang out and catch up, pray, and pursue gospel-saturated spiritual growth. We spend the time in a variety of ways, including meeting together as an entire group, meeting as HS and JH students, or breaking up in groups of guys and girls.
Parents sometimes break up separately to talk about shared experiences, pray together, and learn from God’s word. At other times they sit in with their kids and help facilitate discussion.
Shelby & Kaysie Hosiner are parents of teens, and are the lead people for Remedy Teens. God has also provided a great team of families and individuals to come alongside our teenagers as they grow in Christ, have fun, serve, and engage their friends together.
