At Abiding Word Church we believe that our youth are not just the future of the church—they are the church!
We are the youth of AWC815. We provide a relevant youth-church service with praise and worship, a relevant message, and play some seriously fun and action-packed games.

"It’s not just another church thing—it’s YOUR thing. Life Groups are where you’ll build friendships, ask real questions, and discover how God’s Word connects to your world."

Meeting: Every other Sunday 6-8pm
"Life’s better when you don’t do it alone. Come hang out, dive into the Bible, and find real friends who get you. Life Groups are where faith gets real!"

This is the big event of the summer - Youth Camp!
Summer Scream began in 1994, as a week-long camp for teenagers.
The camp is located in Lamoine Christian Camp in Tennessee, IL.
Expect relevant messages, high-energy worship, and life-changing
experiences.
