East Brainerd Youth

Our goal is to draw students into a deeper, life-changing relationship with Jesus

Our Goal

EB Youth is a group of 7th - 12th graders from various schools throughout the Chattanooga area.

Our goal is to draw students into a deeper, life-changing relationship with Jesus that leads them to be bold disciple-makers wherever they are. We aim to do this through worship, studying God’s Word, meaningful time in community, and encouraging each other to draw closer to Jesus in all we do.



Ongoing Events

Wednesday Night Worship

On Wednesday nights in the Teen Room from 6:30-7:30 PM, we spend time in worship and have a lesson together.


Sunday Nights

We will have various events, activities, and devotionals on Sunday nights. Please check the calendar for what is happening, and join the Group Me for more details.


Sunday Mornings

We believe it is important for students to be active in the church as a whole, not just the youth group. We invite our students to worship alongside the rest of the EB family on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM. After worship, our EBY classes begin in the Teen Room each Sunday at 11:00 AM.
