"BUILDING A FOUNDATION OF TRUTH FOR LIFE"
The Saving Grace Youth Group is for grades 7-12 (and minimum age of 12). Like all other Saving Grace teaching and fellowship ministries, the focus is the faithful exposition of God's Word. Armed with a solid foundation of sound doctrine as well as an accurate understanding of God's character, they are taught how to apply biblical truth to their lives and to the world around them.

10:45 am Sunday Morning
Youth Building
The youth ministry of Saving Grace Bible Church is guided by the church’s philosophy of ministry, which places a high value on the role of faithful Bible exposition in the work of transforming hearts and lives.
Our purpose is to partner with parents in ministering to their teenaged children (ages 12-18). We accomplish this purpose through:(1) weekly Bible teaching, (2) the shepherding of students and parents in the application of biblical truth, (3) monthly youth events – which help students build and deepen Christ-honoring relationships – and (4) annual camps and retreats – which allow time for intensive Bible teaching and discipleship.
10:45 am Sundays
Youth Fellowship Group
Each Sunday morning at 10:45am, our youth meet in the youth building for our weekly Bible exposition. We study verse by verse through books of the Bible and seek to draw out the timeless truths of the word of God and impress upon the students the implications of the truth in their lives. Pastor Issac Abarca is currently teaching through the gospel of John.
6:30 pm Wednesdays (Youth Group)
Our Wednesday night Youth Group includes games, fellowship, and a time of teaching. Since students are responsible to plan and facilitate the games, this provides opportunities for teens to exercise service and leadership. As students cultivate peer relationships during games, this creates opportunities for discipleship and shepherding.
Various offsite Fellowships
Monthly Youth Events
Our monthly youth events are intentionally oriented around strengthening relationships with both students and parents. Because our Sunday and Wednesday meetings are primarily teaching-focused, youth events provide greater opportunities for building affinity, trust, and camaraderie.
Summer Camps
One of the highlights on our annual ministry calendar is the ABIDE senior high summer camp, where Saving Grace Bible Church partners with other like-minded churches for a week of ministry dedicated to faithful preaching, discipleship, and fun activities for the youth. This camp is intended for grades 9 through 12. Historically, we’ve limited participation in ABIDE to SGBC teens of members and regular attendees, as this is enables us to focus on our own students.
Since we also want our junior high students to benefit from the intensive and exciting nature of camp ministry, we have organized a junior high retreat for our students in grades 7 and 8. This is a valuable time for students to hear the truth and to build relationships with other students and youth leaders.
Abide & Proclaim
Abide Senior High Camp & Proclaim Jr. High Camp are both for members and regular attenders of SGBC and generally happen in the beginning of July (ABIDE) and in August(Proclaim).
