"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."
Hebrews 6:19 (NIV)
Anchor Youth @ RCC -
Rooted in Hope, Anchored in Christ
Welcome to Anchor Youth!
At Restoration Community Church, we believe that your teenage years are a critical time to grow in faith, find authentic community, and discover your purpose. That’s why we’ve created Anchor Youth — a fun, safe, and supportive space where teens from 6th grade through 12th grade can build their lives on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ.
Our Mission & Vision
- Mission: To be a real and authentic community where young people encounter Jesus, grow in faith, and learn to live out the Gospel. We are committed to biblical teaching, meaningful relationships, and living on mission—locally, regionally, and globally—serving others as Jesus did.
- Vision: To raise up passionate disciples rooted in hope, anchored in Christ, and driven by love—equipping teens to live purposefully, serve generously, and be bold in their faith.
Youth Programs for 6th-8th and 9th-12th Graders
Weekly Gathering & Deepening Faith:
Every Sunday morning, teens gather for engaging Bible studies and worship that help them explore tough questions and discover how biblical truths apply to their lives today. These sessions aim to deepen their faith and inspire authentic, real growth in a supportive environment
Future Retreats & Service Opportunities:
We’re excited about planning future events that foster spiritual renewal, fun, and community service. Our current focus is on building a foundational faith that’s rooted in biblical truth and motivated to serve.
Mission in Action:
Living out our faith through local service projects, regional initiatives, and international missions is central to our identity. We encourage our youth to actively participate in outreach that makes a difference—whether helping those in our community, supporting regional ministries, or partnering with global missions.
Exciting Events & Activities
- Anchor Nights: Worship events with opportunities for reflection, praise, and engaging biblical teaching.
- Anchor Drop: Regular updates sent to youth and parents about upcoming activities, Bible studies, and service opportunities.
- Community & Service Projects: Hands-on ways to serve locally and regionally—living out the Gospel through actions that reflect Christ’s love.
- Fun & Fellowship: Fun activities, socials, and events that foster friendships and help teens grow in their faith.

Led by Pastor Mike Craig, our youth team is dedicated to guiding teens with biblical truth, compassion, and authenticity. Our mentors are passionate about empowering youth to walk confidently in their faith, offering support, wisdom, and encouragement every step of the way.
