WELCOME TO HIGH SCHOOL MYM!

Be part of something new...
    We are so glad you're here and can't wait to walk this faith journey with you.  Marion Youth Ministries is a dynamic, flexible, comprehensive, and growing 
    ministry for high school teens.

DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS FOR 2022-2023 ARE FORMING NOW!
Are you a teen looking for more?  Are you looking for Belonging?  Fellowship?  Accountability?  Flexibility?  Depth?

Following Jesus' example in the Gospels, and in response to the desire/needs expressed by the teens of the Marion Catholic Community, Discipleship Groups (D-Groups) gather small groups of high school teens (about 5 to 8 teens per group) with an adult mentor or two to journey together in faith.  As a teen, this offers you all the above experiences and qualities.  

Small groups have the flexibility on when and how often you meet, so it works with busy schedules.  Each group forms a small community where you can belong, where it's safe to be yourself, ask questions, share joys and successes, and participate in an apprenticeship in the Christian life.  This isn't just another program.
D-GROUPS
    BELONG.      BE LOVED.      GROW.

Do you want a solid group of friends to grow in your faith with from now until you graduate high school?  

Discipleship Groups (D-Groups) will kick off early fall & will be meeting once a month for a time of study, reflection, discussion & socialization.  Please consider grabbing a friend or two and joining us.
​
BIBLE STUDY
    BE INVOLVED

Are you looking at digging deeper in your faith?  Consider being part of our Venture Bible Study as we'll introduce you to the "big picture" of salvation history in a way that is simple to understand.  

Beginning early fall, we'll be meeting once a month to pray, socialize and dig into the Bible.  We would love for you to join us.
MORE YOUTH MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES

In addition to the small group meetings, there will also be occasional gatherings of all the small groups together for Social Nights, Service Projects, etc.  

Whether you participate in a Small Discipleship Group or not, all teens are encouraged to participate in various other ministry events, activities, and opportunities:
  • Retreats
  • Mission Trips
  • Youth Conferences
  • Social & spiritual events

  • Any other way the Holy Spirit leads us - seriously, what has God placed on your heart.
HIGH SCHOOL NIGHTS
Aside from D-Groups, high school students are welcome to our high school nights once a month from 7 to 8:30pm in the youth room.  Each night will feature food, fellowship, a dynamic talk, and prayer!  All 9th-12th grade students are invited.  Bring a friend!
