The youth group at Clear Creek is a very active one:  Missions, Work Camps, and fellowship with each other and other Christian youth groups.  Below are some of the areas they have been involved in the past:

Summer Camp

Various facilities are being investigated to host this event.  More information will be posted as it becomes available.

Mission Trips

Weeklong missions take various forms.  Examples are Flood Relief in Donelsonville, GA, Hurricane Relief in New Orleans, and Medical Missions in Guyana.  As needs change the mission trip changes from year to year.

Workcamps

Annual weeklong times of painting, home repair, etc. for the elderly, disabled, and others in need are described by teens as “fun”, “tiring”, and “. . . it makes you feel good.”  These have taken place for several years in Knoxville.  A new Chattanooga based workcamp is anticipated in June 08.  Youth Ministries from the congregations of Red Bank and East Brainerd have planned to join us.  Other groups have shown interest in being a part of this endeavor.

Winterfest

This February classic in Gatlinburg allows teens to join over 10,000 other teens in a weekend of spiritual growth, exciting worship, and Christian entertainment.  This combination makes it a “don’t miss” event to teens.

Uplift Bible Camp

Harding University’s camp is the oldest and largest of its kind in the country.  It brings together national quality bible class teachers, keynote speakers, and entertainment.  Limiting the capacity to 1,000 allows for a “big event” feel while being small enough to allow a great teacher to student ratio.  Dividing the teens by grade (7^th & 8^th, 9th & 10^th, 11^th & 12^th) let the teachers “tailor” each class session to the age of the group.  This camp is always a favorite and lets teens get a taste of life on a college campus.
