Club 7:37

Club 7:37 provides high school students with a safe, fun, and comfortable place to hang out, meet friends, and hear about Jesus in a way they can understand. The Club is named after Jesus words in John 7:37 which states "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.” We hope that teenagers would come to Jesus when they are thirsty for more in their lives. So, on Friday evenings, teens jump on the CDC bus to see what adventure was planned for them that would point them toward Jesus. Some highlight events of the year were our city-wide scavenger hunts, our weekend service project partnering with Kensington Church (beginning the rehabilitation of the Peaches and Greens building), and an honor picnic for our graduating seniors. Students also have opportunities for weekend retreats, service, and connection to resources such as college and career planning, mentoring, and life skills.

We have also used this program as an opportunity to develop student leaders who live out the way of Jesus in our schools and neighborhood. We average about 35 students in attendance weekly with 9 student leaders and 5 adult volunteers.

"You are like a big brother to me. Any time I need something, you are there. It is hard to find a person that never looks down on you and always has a smile on their face. Thank you for everything." (Club participant)
