HSM - February 2026

Dear Parents,

Welcome to our February Newsletter! At the beginning of each month, we send out all the information that is going on within YOCF. Make sure to stay connected to our Instagram @yoyoyocf for updates! Check out our plans for the coming weeks and the ways we will be connecting, daily, weekly, and upcoming events!

On Sunday mornings, the high schoolers get the opportunity to sit in the main service during the worship and sermon. Sunday nights are when the youth group for the high schoolers is held! This goes from 5-6:30 pm in the youth room.

Students have the opportunity to join a Life Group that allows for deeper connections between peers and leaders within the smaller groups. These are held on Wednesdays and Thursdays and are held at individual locations depending on the group. These will start back up the 7th & 8th!

As we continue into the semester, we have a couple of exciting things coming up and some important dates to be aware of so be sure to look at the different events below!

With Much Love,

Sunday Nights are an opportunity for our High School students to come and learn more about God's word through different age specific series. We start off our night with games, worship & testimonies, and have teaching & discussion! We meet in the youth room at OCF.

Here is the breakdown for our next Lesson Series:

January 11th- How can I live my best life now?
January 18th- Can Jesus be true for me & not for you?
January 25th- How can you believe in Heaven & Hell?
February 1st- Who cares if you're a boy or a girl?
February 15th- Why can't we just agree that love is love?

Life Groups are meeting on Wednesday & Thursday nights off campus and in homes. This year our goal with Life Groups is to have more students committed to intentional  fellowship & growth in their relationship with God. We are assigning students to Life Groups and are using our YOCF Connect Form to assign students to groups based off of their availability. If your student desires to be in a Life Group they must fill out this form & contact Hannah ([email protected])

This half of the year we will be going through the book of Romans!

We understand that while camp is an amazing opportunity to see students grow in their faith and connect with the Lord, it can be a financial burden. We never want the reason a student can't come to camp be due to financial hardship. If this is the situation for your family, please reach out to Hannah ([email protected]) to apply for a campership.
