The youth group meets every Sunday from 5-7 except special holidays.  The meetings are filled with devotional, team building, games, missions and other activities.  There are lots of activities and missions planned each month.  If you have any questions about the meetings or activities, feel free to call or email any of the youth team.

 

 

Youth Events:

It is a joy to announce we have ten youth and four adults committed to work a week in San Marcos. Every summer, dozens of youth groups from all over the country come to San Marcos to renovate the homes of disadvantaged local families. This program has been a well-known staple of the San Marcos community for over 20 years and it is still going strong.  The more hands we have to help, the more homes we are able to renovate.   
They put God's love in action by getting to work on the homes of the poor, elderly, or disabled.  Summer Work Camp is our biggest program, and a life-changing experience for the homeowners and campers.  Every year we look forward to the new batch of campers that come through.  Without them, the lives of so many local families would be completely different. 

The campers do renovations like roof repair or replacement, painting, construction for mobility/handicap issues like ramp installation, new flooring and windows, replacing decrepit walls, appliances, and so much more.  Each families' needs are different, and Southside addresses these needs on an individual basis. We continue to help supply families with safe and secure dwellings, while encouraging leadership, teamwork and an altruistic experience for the youth.

It's not all work and no play.  Campers can enjoy floating the San Marcos River, and a day at New Braunfel's Schlitterbahn Waterpark.  Campers and their adult sponsors get to stay at the dorms on the Texas State University campus.

 
Thanks,
 
Youth Team
