OUR MISSION
The Youth Ministry of Harris Creek exists to help students take ownership of their faith.
About Youth Ministry
It is the Youth Ministry’s goal to create a ministry that helps middle school and high school students take ownership of their faith. What do students who own their faith look like? They are individuals who have an intimate relationship with God, a deep love for others, and a heart of service for the world around them. This happens when students see God’s activity in and around their lives, and they decide to participate with God in His activity.
On-Going Events
Mountaintop
Mountaintop is our Sunday night weekly gathering for students 7-12 grade from 6-8p. This semester, because of Covid concerns, we will be meeting in Life Groups in individual homes, primarily outside. These nights will include games, a shared meal, worship, teaching through a video, and then discussion based on that teaching. In a lot of ways, we'll be meeting as the early Church met! Our groups are split by age and gender. Please reach out to ddavidson@harriscreek.org for any questions and for the locations of each group.
Mountaintop Gathering
Once a month our entire Youth Ministry, 7-12 grade, will meet outside at our Sunwest campus for a night of games, a shared meal, worship, teaching, and discussion! This will allow us to keep our corporate connection in our ministry, while still being wise in the midst of Covid-19. This will be from 6-8p on September 27, October 25, November 22, and December 6. Please reach out to ddavidson@harriscreek.org for any questions.
Life Group
We believe every person in the Body of Christ needs to be in an intentional community, which is why every student in our Youth Ministry is placed in a life group! Life groups are split by age and gender and meet for the last 45 minutes of Mountaintop. Once a month we have Life Group Nights instead of Mountaintop where each group spends the entire 2 hours building community, middle school groups at the church and high school groups at host homes.
Sunday Services
We want our youth to be able to worship alongside our church community as a whole. Therefore, we encourage youth to attend one of our main worship service on Sunday mornings with their family and friends.

Do harris creek youth take any trips or go to camps during the summer?
Each summer we have Youth vs Wild, which is our annual summer discipleship trip to Noah’s Ark in Buena Vista, Colorado. Students who have finished grades 6-10 (11-12th can come as student leaders) are welcome to come on this amazing and life-changing trip. We will rock climb, hike, rappel, and go white water rafting along with having intentional time of worship, individual devotional time, and teaching in small groups. It’s the highlight of the year for our students!
