YOUTH AT CCF
We believe the youth are not the future of the church; they are the church!
In youth group, we aim to have fun, create meaningful friendships, and prepare youth for the gifts and callings that God gives them. We want to demonstrate and instill a heart for God by living a life set apart for Him.
- Youth Pastor Shane Coogan
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice, the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
- Romans 12:1-2 NKJV

Retreats
Twice a year, every Summer and Winter
Retreats are a great time to disconnect and get refreshed! We spend a week without phones to have fun, cultivate friendships, and most importantly hear from the Lord. We share worship and studies together, and each day we dedicate time to spend alone in God's Word. Optional activities include hikes, team-building games, challenge courses, and more!
Mission Trips
Once a year
We believe service is vital for a healthy life in Christ. Each year, we take a trip to a community in need. Our work is simple, whether it's cleaning yards or providing meals. In humility, we aim to love the broken, bond with each other, and draw closer to Christ.
Hikes
Planned on occasion
As interest arises, we periodically lead group hikes at local trails around Virginia.
Busch Gardens Trips
Planned on occasion
Each summer we take a group to have fun for a day at Busch Gardens amusement park!
