Concord Road Youth Group
The goal of the Concord Road Youth Group (CRYG) is to develop and strengthen young Christians through biblical studies, service, and activities with fellow Christians. It is my hope and prayer that these young men and women will continue to serve the Lord throughout their life.
Will Tidwell, Youth Minister
Spiritual Growth
Each Sunday morning and Wednesday night there are age appropriate Bible study classes. We have tried our best to develop an educational program that will give each youth the spiritual tools needed for Christian service.
The youth group also has a monthly devotional hosted by Concord Road families. These provides a time of Christian fellowship and Bible study.
The CRYG also hosts an annual event called the Summer Youth Series (SYS). Nine other youth groups form the local area join Concord Road on Thursday nights during the summer months for worship and fellowship.
Camps and Retreats
In June of each year the CRYG partners with the Southern Hills Youth Group at camp Hy-Lake for a week long Bible camp. This is a time where friendships are made and spiritual lives are strengthened.
The CRYG also has two annual retreats. Our spring retreat is at the end of March each year. In October the CRYG teams up with Southern Hills again for a fall retreat.
Conferences and Lectureships
On an annual basis the CRGY participates in the following conferences or lectureships:
 | Evangelism University (EU) – EU is a conference that is hosted by the Savannah church of Christ. The purpose of the weekend is to help the youth become better evangelists among. |
| Challenge Youth Conference (CYC) – CYC is a weekend event that takes place in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Each year the organizers of this event put together a series of lectures that challenge the youth to increase their faith. |
| Lads to Leaders/Leaderetts (L/L) – L/L takes place each April and lets the youth group members showcase the techniques of leadership in a competition. |
| Bible Bowl – Each fall Bible Bowl is held at the campus of Tennessee Tech. University. The CRYG study books of the Bible and participate in a trivia style competition. |
Service
On Tuesday mornings during the summer months the CRYG puts their faith into action by engaging in various service projects. Throughout the year the youth group also participates in other service oriented projects.
Christian Fellowship
In order to build strong Christian relationships you have to surround yourself with fellow Christians. The last Saturday of each month our youth have a Game Night. Past game nights have included: Laser Tag, bowling roller/ice skating, putt-putt golf, and indoor rock climbing.
