What is Shelby Youth?

Shelby Youth is the student ministry (6th-12th) of Shelby Christian Church in Shelbyville, Illinois. More specifically it is a ministry entirely focused on middle and high school students.

We love Jesus and are trying to figure out how to live like it. God has made it clear to us that we are supposed to first love Him, and then love others. Jesus said those were the most important things He had to tell us. If it was so important to Jesus, we are going to try and do that. In fact, if we do those two things then the things that we worry about so much seem to take care of themselves.

We meet several times during the week to study the message God gave us in the Bible. There are a lot of intellegent people in the world. There are countless religions and different views of how to live, but there is only one God and the Bible is His words spoken for us.

We get together to have fun but we also take our faith seriously.
