Who Are We?
At Axios Youth, we are a vibrant community of young believers who have been called to rise to the challenges of our time. The name “Axios,” derived from the Greek word meaning “worthy” or “deserving,” reflects our belief in the inherent worth and potential of every young person. Just as each of us is intrinsically valuable, we recognize the importance of cultivating our abilities and character in alignment with our faith.
(1 John 3:1 & 1 Timothy 4:12)
When do we meet?
- Sunday Morning Spark @ 9:30am
- Wednesday Night Youth Group @6pm-8pm
Current Series: The Family Tree of Jesus
Get ready to dive into an amazing journey through time as we kick off our latest youth group series: The Family Tree of Jesus! This series will explore the incredible lineage of Christ – a story woven with unexpected heroes, flawed individuals, and powerful moments that showcase God’s perfect plan through imperfect people. We’ll connect the dots between the Old and New Testaments, highlighting the stories of Jesus’ ancestors and discovering how their lives speak to us today. From Abraham to Ruth to David, we’ll see how God’s faithfulness carried through generations to bring us the greatest gift of all: Jesus. Join us to reflect on God’s promises and learn what it means to be part of this bigger story.
