Our Mission: Midtown Youth exists to help 6th–12th graders…
- GROW as spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and socially mature disciples of Jesus Christ, and then
- GO into their homes, churches, schools, and world as Spirit-led disciple-makers for the Kingdom of God.

How to get involved
When & where does the Midtown Youth community gather?
-
Youth Group
On Sundays from 4:00-6:00 pm 6th-12th students and their small group leaders gather at Midtown Granny White. During the first hour of the evening, students and leaders fellowship, play games, and worship together. The second half of the evening is spent in discipleship groups split up by grade and gender. In these groups, adult volunteer leaders facilitate student discussion about a Bible passage and how God’s Word affects their head, their hearts, and their hands.
-
One-to-One Discipleship
Sunday night discipleship groups provide a springboard for small group leaders to disciple students in a one-to-one setting outside of group. Volunteers will build relationships with students and parents that allow them to speak into student’s lives and spur them towards gospel transformation and holistic maturity.
UPCOMING YOUTH EVENTS
Winter Adventure
Middle School Winter Retreat
Every January our middle school students and leaders take part in Winter Adventure, an overnight retreat at YMCA’s Camp Widjiwagan! This weekend is all about PLAY & EXPLORATION! We spend lots of time exploring the beautiful grounds at Camp Widji (i.e. scavenger hunts, rope swing, rock wall, archery, and much more) as well as exploring God’s Word and learning more about what it means to be a beloved child of God. Sign-up information for Winter Adventure is released in early December!
Refuge
High School Winter Retreat
Each February, our high school students and leaders are invited to attend Refuge, a weekend retreat several hours outside of Nashville. This weekend is all about REST & CONNECTION! We spend time resting, playing, worshipping, enjoying the outdoors and learning more about discipleship, leadership, and the Gospel. Sign-up information for Refuge is released in early January!
