Mobile Teen Program (Ages 12-18)

This year, the theme for our Teen Program at TTD will be Youth In Missions. Why it matters, how YOU can be a part of it.

Description of program: Have you ever asked yourself, “Does God have an opinion of what I do with my summer break? How old do I have to be to obey the command of Jesus to “go and make disciples of all nations”? And how should I get ready if I feel like God is calling me to the mission field? We will be looking at how the Bible answers these questions and how these answers apply to high school and middle school students in today’s generation.

For nearly 50 years, Teen Mission has been challenging students with the calling that, through Christ, they are to be the change in the culture around them. Join us for a weekend of learning about God, relationship building with other teens and fun!
