The Garage has always been a welcoming place for students to grow in their faith, and this summer is no exception. See below for ways for youth to connect with God and others.

OUTDOOR WORSHIP FOR SENIOR HIGH YOUTH

Beginning Sunday, August 2, Sr. High youth (current/rising 9-12th graders) are invited to outdoor worship from 7:00-8:00 PM. Youth will gather on the patio area outside the Garage and can use the lawn beside the Garage if more room is needed. There’s plenty of shade in this area at this particular time of the evening, praise God!

Please be sure to read the following as this information is essential to outdoor worship for Sunday and beyond:

• Masks and social distancing is required at all times. Youth must also bring their own chairs or blankets and a water bottle. Families/siblings may sit together, but everyone will be seated at 6 feet of distance throughout our time together.
• Please no carpooling. If you need help thinking through options for getting your youth to worship, please let Adam know.
• Bathrooms are accessible, though we will be allowing just one person into the building at a time.
• If your youth is experiencing any of the symptoms related to COVID-19, please keep them home. Or if you think your family has possibly been exposed to COVID-19 in the past 14 days, please stay home.
• All are welcome! Please contact Adam with any questions.

Welcome to the Garage!
The Garage is a safe, inclusive youth ministry in the far west end of Richmond, VA. The Garage fosters authentic relationships with Christ, one another, and the community through intentional programming, vibrant worship, service opportunities, fellowship, and effective leader training so that by grace, youth will know they are loved by God and can share that love with the world.

Before the pandemic, most Sunday evenings brought students in grades 6th-12th together at the Garage for games, Bible study, fellowship, and worship. We have currently suspened Youth Groups until it is safe to gather again. Click below for more info and to find out when we're meeting again.

 SUNDAY NIGHT YOUTH GROUP 

Our small group ministry is for youth in 6th-12th grade. The groups are based on age and gender and provide an opportunity for students to connect on a personal and spiritual level with their peers and the adult leaders for each group. Many groups are currently meeting online.

 MORE ABOUT SMALL GROUPS 

As many as 1 in 6 teens experience mental health challenges ranging from bullying and stress to depression, anxiety, and even suicide. There is no shame in experiencing mental health issues, and we must address these challenges with knowledge, love, and faith. The Christ Church Youth Ministry intentionally includes mental health awareness and support as part of our calling to minister to the whole child.

 MORE ABOUT THE TEEN MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE 

Parents are a vital part of their child's faith formation! Let's stay in touch so we can be on this journey together.
