Youth Groups

Runnells Christian Church is host to three youth groups. Any youth in the community are invited to join one of the three youth groups. For more information call the church office or send an email from this website.

ΙΧθΟЅ
A new youth group has been established for youth who are in the 6th grade. This youth group has chosen ΙΧθΟЅ for the name of their group. ΙΧθΟЅ (Greek letters for Jesus Christ God Only Son). The symbol associated with this is the fish.

The group begins each meeting sharing in a meal with the other two youth groups, then go to their area for lesson, games and other activities. Upcoming events include an outing with other youth groups from neighboring Christian Churches, collecting food for the Christian Community Food Pantry and Christmas shopping for their Seasons of Sharing Family.

The ΙΧθΟЅ group meets on the first and third Sundays of each month from 5:30 to 7:30. Their primary leader is Katie Temple and parents each take a month assisting. Pastor Alice is also helping with the group.
