MBC Teens

Teens | The Rush is a place where students are loved, accepted and encouraged to play active roles in each other’s life stories. Together we engage in transformational experiences that broaden and deepen their relationships with God and each other with the goal of emerging as powerful women and men of Christ. Here teens are mentored by godly leaders who encourage the next generation to step into the roles they have been called to play. We share in each other’s struggles and joys; revitalize our communities; and care for the unwanted, unreached, and unengaged.

For the most
up-to-date information regarding teen activities please subscribe to the Weekly Sync.

Our events are intended to encourage Renewal, Growth, Connection & Action within community.

We gather every Sunday @ 9-10:15am in the lower level of the YFMB | This will be open to all students in 7th-12th grade. Our focus on Sunday mornings this year will be growing students stronger in their faith. Throughout the year we challenge our students with in depth biblical lessons that helps strengthen their faith in Christ. If you are a looking for a place to grow, Rush Hour seeks to accomplish just that.

Meetings are every Wednesday from 7-8:45pm | This is a chance, every week, for students to take a “break” from their weekly routine to hear relevant teaching, engage in small group discussion, and take part in fun, creative activities. Come out and bring your friends every Wednesday night at 7pm for “The Break.”

We are heading to New Haven, Ct for our Mission trip this year!

Learn about CT:

Come alongside the local church and urban ministries seeking to be the love of Christ in action in a part of the country where only 2% of residents are actively involved in church and Christian community. Learn a little about the history of a part of the country that was home to Native Americans for generations, a landing spot for 17th-century English Puritan settlers, and how Christians are seeking to impact their community for good today. Serve and grow with us as a team as we connect with local organizations with a heart for at-risk youth and people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity. Join us as we partner with Experience Missions and VOX church to serve the community of New Haven.

Here’s some quick things to keep in mind.

Transformed by the grace of God to share Christ’s love to a broken world.

The teenage years can be some of the most exciting and challenging that we ever face. Here at The Rush, we want to be a place where teenagers will be accepted and loved for who they are as they are challenged to grow in their knowledge, love, and passion for Jesus! We accomplish this through fun and compelling environments on Sundays and Wednesdays, through our retreats, service outreaches, and mission trips. Last summer we took an awesome group of teens to serve and share the love of Christ in Chicago. It was amazing to watch the growth, passion and excitement in our teenagers as they were used by God to reach our world. We desire this for everyone who comes in the doors! We invite you to come and check us out… and jump in with the Rush!
