Ministry Overview
Temple Youth is an ever growing group of students, grades 6th-12th, who grow in Christ together through MidWeek Connections, small groups, missions, camps, fun, games and food. We believe the recipe for this growth stems from the mindset that no matter where you come from, no matter where your home church is, no matter your background, you are welcome. In turn, regulars bring friends, friends then become regulars, and that equals a melting pot of personalities who describe our space as one that feels like home.
Midweek Connections
Temple Youth meets regularly during the school year on Wednesday's for MidWeek.
We have dinner at 5:45, worship at 6:30, groups at 6:45, and dismiss at 7:45.
At 5 the students can be found hanging out in the youth room playing ping pong, air hockey, doing homework, or just visiting with friends.
After dinner we gather for worship in the worship center, and then we will go to the youth room for a lesson & connection.
We also have a Foundations class for our 6th graders. This allows them to get a deeper understanding and personal connection with Jesus and each other. They will do this for the first few months before fully diving into the youth room. Our amazing Shelby Berlinger, along with some other awesome ladies, will be teaching them.

Sunday Morning Connections
Temple Youth meets every Sunday morning in the Youth Room for "Breakfast Club".
We attend the service together at 9:15, and then we have a sermon based small group during the 10:30 service.
We discuss the sermon, answer any questions, and make deeper connections with one another.
We would love to have you on Sunday mornings, Wednesday nights, or both!

Meet the Team

Emily Letulle
Temple Youth Director
I am approaching my 7th year of doing one of the most rewarding jobs out there. One that allows me to stay young and hip, be a mentor, a spiritual leader, the "Fun Aunt", but most importantly, do life with our students as they’re walking through some of the hardest years of their lives. We laugh, we cry, we grow...we're family.

Karleigh Higginbotham
Youth Intern
I am starting my sophomore year of college, and I am so excited for this opportunity to help lead the next generation! I have been a part of The Temple Youth since my 6th-grade year, and this group has always felt like home to me. To now have the chance to help lead is something I am truly grateful for. Over the last couple of years, I have grown so much spiritually thanks to Mrs. Em, and I know God will continue to grow me as I lead our youth. His word and goodness continue to overflow in this room and in this church, and I can't wait to see the things He has in store for the future!
