We want our youth to have a safe space to belong to in the summer where ongoing discipleship happens organically for our youth to follow Jesus for life.
Overview
Ebenezer Youth Summer Drop-In runs Monday to Thursday from 2:00-5:00PM from June 30-August 21. It's an open-door, relational space where students from Grades 6-12 can come hang out, build friendships, connect with leaders, and continue walking with Jesus in the summer months. This isn't just a hangout - it's relational discipleship in its rawest form. Whether playing spikeball, talking about life, or just existing in the same space, Drop-In creates daily touchpoints that reinforce trust, belonging, and spiritual depth.
We Understand
- Many students feel disconnected during summer without regular programming.
- Relational momentum from the school year often fades over July and August.
- Parents need trusted, positive environments for their kids during long summer days.
- Summer can be spiritually dry if no consistent community is available.
"A Summer Place To Belong"
Our goal is that youth would stay connected, spiritually anchored, and relationally engaged during the summer through consistent, casual, and JESUS-centered presence.
What a typical day looks like:
- Open drop-in hours: Come-and-go format
- Free time activities: Games, sports, crafts, movies, food, etc.
- Leader-student engagement: Intentional conversations, mentorship
- Devo moments
- Special theme days or tournaments (ping-pong, board games, BBQs)
