O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
Psalm 71:17
About CCF YM
We exist to help every 6th-12th grader love, glorify, and enjoy God by being and making disciples of Jesus Christ.
What to Expect
At CCF, we believe that what students need most is the gospel of Jesus Christ. They need to know the good news that God saves sinners through the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. And they need to be a part of a community where this gospel is lived out and put on display. Therefore, this good news is at the center of everything we do and shapes both our doctrine and our culture.
Students can expect to hang out, hear sermons from the Bible, sing gospel-centered songs, and apply God’s Word in small groups and discipleship. We like to refer to these emphases as “gospel doctrine” and “gospel culture.”
Join us on Sunday nights from 5:30-7:30pm!
What We Do
Youth Group//Sunday nights 5:30-7:30 pm
Our weekly gatherings for middle and high school students where we hang out, worship, hear preaching from the Bible, and apply God’s Word in gender and age-specific small groups. See the calendar below for our Sunday night schedule.
Youth Sunday School// Sunday mornings 9:00- 10:15 am
A casual time of teaching and discussion focused on equipping and growing in the Christian faith. Right now we’re working through the New City Catechism.
Retreats// Winter and Summer
Retreats happen twice a year and are opportunities for students to disconnect from their normal routines and experience times of in-depth Bible teaching and study, worship, fellowship, games, and activities. They’re a great opportunity for students to grow in their faith, deepen friendships, and make lasting memories.
Retreat save-the-dates:
Summer Camp 2026: July 19-23
Winter Retreat 2027: January 15-17
Schedule
Youth @ the Park!
On June 7 and August 2, we’ll be having youth group at Grant Park in Centerville. We will worship, hear a short sermon, and have small groups— all at the park. After that, we’ll have some popsicles and drinks, play some games, and have a great time. If it rains, we’ll just meet at CCF as usual.
Park at Normandy Elementary School (This is where the entrance to Grant we will be using is located. See here for a map). We will meet at the basketball courts before hiking to the spot we’ll have youth.
Address: 401 Normandy Ridge Rd, Dayton, OH 45459
Drop off and pick up will be at Normandy Elementary School, NOT CCF.
Bring a lawn chair or a blanket!
