Winter Haven Christian Church...

The Youth Fellowship at Winter Haven Christian Church is made up of Middle School and High School youth who desire to have a better understanding of God and God's Word. While some of them have been raised in Christian households, many have come from different walks of life without the structure of a Christian home.   

Our Youth Fellowship is active in our community and we are proud of their accomplishments. Recently the Youth Groups served more than two dozen dinners, raised thousands of dollars to attend conferences and learn more about God and each other. They faced many of their fears, participated in camp overnights and many more activities. During all of the excitement of their Youth Fellowship and helping others, they also spent a year reading through the Bible and discovering God’s love for us.

We’ve learned about missions, compassion, and service to others; then put it into practice. We’ve rock climbed, survived hurricanes, built homes and churches, packed over 200,000 meals for third world countries, and met played hours of ball and cards, swam in a river, an ocean, a lake, and a bay. We’ve even white water rafted, been spelunking, zip-lined, water skied, surfed, been stranded on an island for days, performed dramas, and taught elementary students all about Jesus. We are changing the world, making a difference, and finding TRUE meaning in our lives. All the while we’ve striven to grow closer to each other and deeper in our loving relationship with God. It doesn’t end there.

understands the importance of nurturing spirituality in even the youngest members of our families. We have volunteer caregivers who help educate the children in our amazing Children's Church. The adults proudly watch the younger generations grow and flourish while never knowing anything but God's love for his children.

In our Nursery, volunteers play with infants and the younger children until they are ready to graduate to Children's Church. The allows the adult congregation to enjoy and focus on the sermon without distractions. We have a flat panel tv in the Nursery mounted high on the wall so that the volunteers don't miss the day's sermon which is broadcast to the technology throughout the church. 

Children's Church is a lot of fun for our younger members. Here they explore the biblical stories and are introduced to God, Jesus and the Bible. They color, have story time and work on project that go along with that day's lesson. 

From our Children's Christmas Program to summer Vacation Bible School to activities and trips in-between, our team of youth leaders are absolutely amazing!
