    Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Church For Teens

Grove Teens is an indispensable program at Pleasant Grove Church, as it plays a vital role in nurturing and guiding our youth towards becoming devoted disciples of Jesus Christ. In a world that often presents numerous distractions and challenges to our young generation, it is crucial to provide them with a supportive and nurturing environment where they can grow spiritually and develop a strong foundation in their faith. Grove Teens not only offers a platform for our youth to deepen their understanding of Christ's teachings but also empowers them to live out those principles in their daily lives.

At Pleasant Grove Church, we recognize that the teenage years are a critical period of personal growth and identity formation. Through the Grove Teens program, we aim to instill in our youth the values of love, compassion, and service that are central to the teachings of Jesus Christ. By actively engaging in discussions, Bible studies, and service projects, our young disciples are encouraged to apply their faith in practical ways, both within the church community and beyond. Grove Teens equips them with the necessary tools to navigate life's challenges, make informed decisions, and contribute positively to society, all while remaining rooted in their faith.

As believers, we find inspiration in the powerful words of Jesus, who said in Matthew 22:37-39, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" This scripture serves as a guiding principle for Grove Teens, emphasizing the importance of loving God and loving others. It reminds us that by serving and connecting with one another, we are fulfilling our purpose as disciples of Christ.

In alignment with our church philosophy of "Serving God Through Loving Connections," Grove Teens serves as a cornerstone of our commitment to building a strong, interconnected community that supports and uplifts one another. By investing in the spiritual growth of our youth, we are not only shaping the future of Pleasant Grove Church but also equipping young individuals to carry the message of God's love and grace into the world. As we nurture their faith, we are confident that our youth will become compassionate leaders, spreading the light of Christ wherever they go.

Available on 2nd and 4th Sundays of every month during morning church services. We provide a safe, responsive and loving environment where your child will feel free to be!
How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. Psalm 119:9

In the heart of every teenager lies the potential for great impact and transformation. Through Grove Teens, we unlock that potential, cultivating a generation of disciples who serve God through loving connections.

Today's Teens

Today’s teens are members of the Z generation (born between 1999 -2010.) According to the Pew Research Center, this generation is full of curious minds that are willing to research what they do not know. They are digital natives with little or no memory of the world as it existed before smartphones; they are more racially and ethnically diverse than previous generations and are on track to be the best-educated generation of all time.

Many churches struggle with the inability to meet the needs and expectations of teens. Not so, here at Pleasant Grove Church! How do we meet these needs and expectations?

So What Do They Desire

A Place To Feel Safe

Safety Zone

In many churches, the teen group is seen just as a group of kids that play games and make a giant mess. Here at Pleasant Grove Church, the reality is GroveTeens is just a gathering with teens instead of adults. Sometimes we do make a mess and play silly games, but that's because emotional walls are broken down, and real relationships begin when our teens have a chance to let their guard down.

Our teens want and need a place where they can speak the truth of their lives and not be judged by adults or their peers. In GroveTeens, teens can walk into spaces with peers and adult leaders they are making real relationships with and know what's said in GroveTeens stays in GroveTeens.

Crave For Belonging

Seen and Heard

Teens want to feel like they are a part of the Church. They don’t want to be the cleanup crew or be that youth group that is seen and not heard. They need to know they are loved by the people they see every week during worship and in Grove Teens, our version of Youth Church. Pleasant Grove Church is a place where teens feel a sense of belonging and are fortunate to have adults who are genuinely dedicated to our teens.

They want us to pray with them, check on them, and accept them. At Pleasant Grove Church, we share the word of God with our teens on a level they understand, relate to, and apply to their daily lives. We pray for them while simultaneously teaching them to pray for themselves and others. We check on our teens outside of Church, often sharing in their extracurricular activities, following up on their grades, and making ourselves available for their calls, texts, and e-mails.

Adults Who Are Genuine

Walk the Talk

Some adults are very good at reminding teens to be themselves. Some adults have a tough time doing that themselves. Here at PGC, you will find adult leaders in GroveTeens solidly grounded in God's Word; they walk their talk, and the teens relate to them with ease because the teens know they are for real. Our leaders in GroveTeens are non-judgmental and are willing to meet teens where they are in their faith walk while consistently demonstrating the love of Christ toward them.

Teenagers are excellent at seeing through the perpetration adults so often demonstrate. If adult leaders can't be honest about who we are, why would teens think they are honest about the message they are trying to share with them? Our leaders know that if they are not genuine, the message of Jesus Christ will be lost.
