Catalyst Youth Group
What is Catalyst Youth Group?
Catalyst Youth Group strives to build within teens a passion for Christ and a practice of all that He commands by exalting Christ together, equipping youth and their parents, and establishing contexts where teens can encounter Jesus Christ together and be equipped to evangelize. We want to see changed lives that have a passion for Christ and practice of all that He commands.
What type of things do you do?
We have a midweek meeting on Wednesday and special events throughout the year. Here's more info on them below...
Midweek Meeting
Every Wednesday of the month will consist of Jr. High and Sr. High teens meeting together for a "large" group meeting or a "small" group meeting. The Wednesday "large" group meetings consist of a time for worship and teaching (some giveaways sneak in there from time to time too!) The Wednesday "small" group meetings allow for an activity or game in the gym, followed by a time for small group discussion and application from the "large" group teaching.
Special Events/Activities
Throughout the year, we will plan special activities for just the youth, or youth/parents. These activities include things like trips, sports, games, picnics, local mission trips, etc. and are great contexts to invite friends. Special conferences geared towards parent/child relationships will be held as well. However, each activity is planned by keeping one of three purposes in mind:
Missions (Local, Regional, Global) — We see our teens as part of the local church and God has given the church a command to take the gospel to the lost. We will seek to provide contexts throughout the year that enable the youth to proclaim and demonstrate the power of the gospel on the local, regional and global level in mission opportunities.
Building Community — Part of building a godly community is living life together and doing that while having fun. We want to provide special activities that continue to build a rich and biblical community between teens and their peers, as well as between teens and their parents.
Supporting Parents — Understanding that parents are the main teachers in discipling their teens, we want to equip and encourage parents in that task. Special meetings, seminars, and teaching sessions will be scheduled to communicate with parents and help them know how to disciple their teen through the unique challenges he/she faces.

Sunday Classes
What is the goal of Sunday Classes for teens?
The Sunday Classes ministry at Atlanta Road Alliance Church is designed to deepen you in the study of God's Word, the doctrines of the Christian faith, the practical application of Scripture to life, and help shape a Christian worldview for you.
What type of classes or seminars are offered?
Classes specifically for teens will either study a book in the Bible or walk through a catechism.
Classes offered to adults, but teens are encouraged to attend will be from one of the four categories: Biblical Studies (i.e. studies in a book of the Bible), Basic Doctrines (i.e. study of God and doctrines of the Christian faith), Biblical Living (i.e. practical application of the truths of Scripture), and Biblical Worldview (i.e. the shaping of a worldview that sees our life and world from God's perspective).
Who is it for?
There are classes specifically for teens that meet in the Loft. But there are also classes for adults that teens are encourage to attend.
