Youth

The Youth Ministry at Temple seeks to reach students in 7th - 12th grades and to develop them into fully mature, reproducing followers of Christ.  Our goal is to become a community of students and leaders committed to letting God change our lives, strengthen our families, change our friends' lives, build the church, and impact our world. 

Pastor Mike Avants does this by meeting and ministering to students at their level.  The Youth gather to build the faith, fellowship, and to come together as a family. To accomplish this we offer many activities such as:

  • Mission Trips

  • Summer Camps

  • Weekend Discipleship Experiences

  • Exciting Summer Activities

  • A dynamic Praise and Worship Service for both Middle School & High School

  • Discipleship and Accountability Groups

Young people today face extraordinary challenges, changing gender roles, the lure of self-fulfillment as a primary goal, moral decay, and their spiritual and ethical environment is pervaded by cultural and religious relativism.  We "Partner with Parents", because biblically we cannot substitute for parents. But, we can biblically support parents.  And that is why we here at Temple take seriously our role and develop the teenagers in the city of Simpsonville.

If you are interested in being part of this rewarding ministry or if you would like more information about the different opportunities that are offered, please contact Rev. Mike Avants at the church office at 864.963.5834 or by EMAIL.
