Connect
Gather for fun – food – fellowship – prizes
CONNECT is a youth program for young people in Grades 5 – 12 in Conoy Township. Each Thursday evening (1st & 3rd) features activities, prizes, refreshments and a devotional time. Connect offers opportunities for the youth of our community to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and to grow in a relationship with Him and each other. Connect youth outreach was started September 7, 2004.
Meetings are held at Bainbridge Elementary School Gym whenever available. Alternative meeting place : Word of Life Chapel.
Youth must stay and participate from 6:00 thru 7:30 pm unless picked up early by their parents.

1. Study in First Samuel – I Samuel tells how Israel changed from a 12 tribe confederation into a monarchy with first, Saul, and then David as king. Explore with us how our promise keeping God ruled his people Israel and see the implications for us today. Meeting in the Sanctuary- Led by Dain Kulp
2.Study in the Song of Solomon – The family is the foundation of the Church and society and yet our family life is drastically deteriorating all around us. The Song of Solomon addresses this problem by focusing on the hearty of the family which is the husband/wife relationship. But there is something in this book for everyone: the young person who is dating, engaged, newly wed, seeking conflict resolution, increased romance and faithfulness until the end. Please join this study if you are interested in what God’s plan is for your family! Led by Pastor Aaron.
