One of our Key Strategic Objectives is to build the church “from the ground up.”

NorthEast eXtreme Teens (NEXT) and Wylie NEXT are the youth ministries for the Northeast Church, Garland and the Wylie Northeast Church, respectively. These ministries encompass the junior high ministries, as well. Although each of these groups function separately, many activities are conducted together to give the teens the best ministry experience possible.
We believe that young people can live a life in their teen years to not only glorify God, but advance His kingdom. Our ministry is designed to pair young people with an adult mentor who will help spiritually guide and grow them in Christ.

It is said that young people will live down to your expectations of them. We believe, however, that the opposite is also true; young people will live up to your expectations of them.

The N.E.X.T. ministries focuses on spiritual growth for 6th - 12th graders through one-on-one discipling, small group involvement, and ministry wide social events. Our goal is to help young people fall in love with Christ.

In a world that sets teenagers up for failure, The NEXT ministry works hard to build a safe haven for seeking souls. We firmly believe Paul's charge to Timothy to "not let people look down on you because you are young." We strive to set a Christlike example for everyone we meet. Our battle cry is clear, we won't shut up until young people know Jesus is near them!
