Our mission is to create a safe place for students 6th-12th grade to encounter Jesus, to ask questions, and to experience the Love God has for them, while ultimately integrating them into the body and mission of Christ.

Programs
Encounter (Youth Group) Thursday Night
Jr. & Sr. High Students (Grades 6-12) Thursday Nights from 6:30pm-8:00pm

Every Thursday night our teens come together for a night of games, worship, message and small groups where we talk about REAL issues that so many teenagers deal with on a regular basis.
Teenagers today are going through so much in their lives and this is a great time for them to get away from the stresses, pressures and struggles that young people are dealing with.
There is always a team of adult volunteers who love teenagers and are passionate about pointing teens to Jesus and being a source of wisdom, love and support for them.
The church we meet at is called Mountain States Baptist Church (3751 Cottonwood Lakes Blvd, Thornton, CO 80241).

Soul Fuel - Sunday Morning
Jr. & Sr. High Students (Grades 6-12)Sunday Mornings during the 9:30am service

Every Sunday morning we meet for a Bible study lead by our Youth Pastor and/or one of our volunteers.
For Soul Fuel, all of our students are combined in one large group for a small group discussion.
The topic of discussion is always centered around scripture and topics that are relevant to what many Jr & Sr. High students are going through in their lives.
We HIGHLY encourage our students to come to Soul Fuel at 9:30am and then all sit together in the main worship service for the 11:00am service.
We believe it is crucial to a young person's faith to be involved in the church congregation as a whole which is why we highly encourage teenagers to be in our regular weekend worship services.
Events
We are better when we are together

In addition to the normal meeting times during the week, our ThornCreek Teens do many extra activities. At least once a month there is some sort of fun event scheduled for the youth ministry. These events include anything from a summer camp, to a hang out/movie night at a home. Either way, there are always opportunities for our teens to spend time together.
Communication
Texting, Email & Social Media

The Youth Pastor has found that the best way to reach students and parents is through text, email and social media posts.
It is strongly encouraged that parents of teenagers give their email and phone number to the Youth Pastor by updating their information in the Church database. If you have questions, please feel free to communicate those questions with our Youth Pastor, Nick McCall. He can be reached by email at nick.mccall@thorncreek.church

Safety
Safety Matters

All adults who work with teenagers have gone through a background check. Each adult is assessed and interviewed before they work with our ThornCreek teens. Their safety, care, and protection is a priority for ThornCreek.
