C3 YOUTH

Illuminate Student Ministry

At CCCOG, we are devoted to teaching teenagers the life-saving message of Jesus Christ and helping form the foundation that the rest of their lives will be built upon. Our youth are active participants of the church and what God has for us. We seek to Illuminate the world around us, following Matthew 5:14-16, living as cities set on a hill to bring light to those around us. Come and check out what our Student Ministry has to offer!

Free Coffee Wednesdays

On the first Wednesday of the month during the school year, Common Grounds Espresso will be open for students from 12:30-1:30pm. Stop by, grab a free coffee, and hang out! Bring your friends!

Illuminate Wednesdays

Illuminate meets Wednesday nights from 6:00-8:00pm. We usually start out the night with some snacks, play a few games, then break into small groups after a time of sharing.

Illuminate Refresh Group (Oikos)

We believe that gathering together is important. That’s why we create space outside of Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights and beyond the walls of the church. Join us on the first Sunday of the month at the Lund Home (email Pastor Erin for the address) right after church (right around noon). We’ll have food; feel free to bring a side to share. Our one rule? Don’t knock for Oikos!

Illuminate Events

We have many events that students look forward to: fun activities, retreats, and International Youth Convention (IYC). Keep updated on all the events via the What’s Happening page. For more information about Illuminate Student Ministry (C3 Youth), contact Pastor Erin Lund.
