Teens
At NEC Youth we want to see middle and high school students have a place to be loved, known, and belong. We desire for students to know Jesus and know his incredible love for them.

Sunday Night (Youth Group)
Led by our youth pastor, Jacob Padgett, our Sunday night youth groups for middle and high school (5:00pm-7:00pm) are energetic, transformative, and tons of fun.
Games and teaching time are part of a typical Sunday evening. In addition, we offer weekend retreats each year and lots of outings throughout the year!
Midweek Community
We have weekly connection opportunities to supplement our Sunday nights. With a focus on connection, study, and encouraging environment, we value seeing students succeed and belong in deeper ways.
Make it stand out
Retreats (MS & HS)
Every year, a team of youth and volunteer leaders travel for retreats of fun, intentional conversations, and lots of snacks. We have found these trips to be truly exciting and transformational!
