Welcome to Abounding Youth

Rooted in Christ • Growing Goether • Reaching Out

At Branches Abounding Youth, we believe that every young person has a God-given purpose and the potential to make a lasting impact in their world. Inspired by the mission of Abounding Fellowship, we are committed to helping youth deepen their faith, build authentic relationships, and grow into the leaders God has called them to be.

Our vision is to create a thriving, Christ-centered community where youth feel valued, supported, and equipped to live boldly for Christ. We believe in nurturing spiritual growth through dynamic teaching, meaningful worship, and hands-on opportunities to serve others.

We believe the teenage years are a critical time to explore faith, ask questions, and grow deeper in truth. At Branches Abounding Youth, we are dedicated to providing a Christ-centered environment where students are guided, supported, and encouraged by compassionate leaders who genuinely care.

Whether your teen is just beginning their faith journey or has been walking with Christ for years, they will find a welcoming space to grow spiritually, serve others, and uncover their God-given purpose. Together, we are building a foundation rooted in Christ, nurturing gifts, and equipping youth to make an eternal impact in His Kingdom.

Our Goals

1. Rooted in Faith

We are passionate about grounding youth in the truth of God's Word. Through engaging Bible studies, discipleship programs, and heartfelt worship experiences, we encourage young people to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

2. Growing Together

Life is better in community! We provide a safe and welcoming space where youth can build friendships, share their struggles, and celebrate their victories. Together, we cultivate a culture of love, encouragement, and accountability.

3. Reaching Out

We empower youth to make a difference in their schools, communities, and beyond. Whether it's local outreach projects or global missions opportunities, we challenge our students to step out in faith and be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Join Us!

Branches Abounding Youth is more than just a program—it's a family. Whether you're new to faith, curious about God, or looking for a place to belong, there's a place for you here. Together, we'll discover what it means to live an abundant life, rooted in Christ and overflowing with His love.

Our weekly gathering is designed for students in every stage of life. Whether unsaved, new to their relationship with Jesus, or disciples of Jesus, we attempt to reach them where they are, through the sharing of God's Word, relationships, and interactive small groups. We meet every Sunday at 6:00 PM and every Wednesday at 6:30 PM.

Community Events & Outreach

We believe that community and outreach have lasting effects on the students we engage with. From Summer youth camps to Mission Trips, we take the time to intently getting to know your students better and investing in their spiritual lives through these events.

According to the American Worldview Inventory (AWVI) 2023, only 4% of American adults hold a biblical worldview. This means today's youth will encounter many ideas that may sound spiritual but do not align with the truth of the Bible. Charles Spurgeon wisely said, "Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong, but knowing the difference between right and almost right."

At Abounding, our youth are immersed in doctrines, systematic theology, apologetics, and training in logic—teaching them not what to think, but how to think critically and biblically. The Bible highlights the importance of discernment, as seen in Hebrews 5:14: "But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to distinguish between good and evil."

Youth need apologetics to build a strong foundation for their faith. Apologetics equips them with the intellectual tools to defend their beliefs against challenges they will face in school, social circles, and the complexities of the modern world. By learning to articulate and stand confidently in their Christian convictions, they will be prepared to engage opposing viewpoints with clarity and grace.

Our students will leave with a firm foundation in biblical principles while cultivating a heart for service, evangelism, missions, and personal sanctification. This holistic approach prepares them to confidently navigate the challenges of the world while living out their faith with purpose and conviction.
