What is Activate


Activate is the vision and design for the Student Ministry at Crosby Church. Our purpose is to help students and their families connect to their creator God, to Activate His Holy Spirit in their lives through Jesus, and to Activate His love towards others. We are not the ‘youth group’ you’re used to. WE ARE A YOUTH FAMILY. Connected. Focused. United.

Our Mission

Activate is a ministry dedicated to engaging students into a deep connection with the family of Christ through relevant, fun, creative methods to open their eyes and hearts to God’s love. Equipping students to know God’s Word, teaching ways to turn God up in their lives through worship, prayer, and HIS Word. Empowering students to take ownership of their generation and sending them out into the world to turn God up in people’s lives. Sharing the gospel throughout the world and leading the way to the future by the example of Christ.

EVENTS

High School Ministries

High School Service

Our high school students come together every Wednesday night.  Every Wednesday we worship together and have a relevant, timely message given by our youth pastor in a worship setting where we look to encounter God.  We open the gym and game room up at 6 p.m. and service starts at 7 p.m. Our high school is separated from our middle school after worship.  When high school has service, middle school does small groups. 

H.S. Small Groups

Our high school small groups now meet on the Wednesdays 3 times a month.  Teens are welcome to hang out starting at 6 p.m., they will do worship together with our Activate Youth Band, then they break off into small groups where they discuss the previous week's message.  This is where we build connection and relationship with others.  Once a quarter or every other month our small groups also try to plan a fun outing to do together like bowling, etc.

H.S. Sunday School

We offer high school Sunday school before our Sunday service at 9 a.m. in our youth building in the upstairs room.  We are currently working through the Answers in Genesis curriculum which will cover the whole Bible in time.  This is our time to really learn more about studying God's word, learn about digger deeper, and being taught how to walk in His truths and His ways.

Middle School Ministries

Middle School Service

The first Sunday of the month we will do family service with everybody together. The rest of the month on  Sundays our middle school are dismissed after worship to walk over together to the youth building for a middle school message.
Then our middle school students come together every Wednesday night for small groups.   We open the gym and game room up at 6 p.m. and service starts at 7 p.m.  Our middle school is separated from our high school after worship and do small groups.
