Sunday Night Youth Group

Every Sunday Night (during the school year)

6th-12th grade, 5:00 pm-6:30 pm

Meets in the Chapel, enter through door 12

Vision: The goal of Sunday night youth group is to create a safe space for students to be their true authentic selves while growing in their faith and having fun.

Program Overview: Sunday night youth group will be an age level club based program that will meet each Sunday night from 5:00-6:30 for 6th-12th graders. Each Sunday night will include game time and snack/hang out time as well as a short lesson. Age levels will be kept separate except for when activities will work better with both groups in the same space. Lessons in the 2024 fall semester will be focused on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus (6th-8th grade) and identity (9th-12th grade).

Sunday Mornings

We believe the best practice for youth on Sunday Mornings is to be in service. Studies show that youth who participate in worship, either as servers or congregants, are more likely to continue in their faith after high school. We encourage all youth to be present and in community with the whole church on Sunday morning.

Youth Parent Meeting

Our first youth group is this Sunday, August 17, from 5:00 pm-6:30 pm. As part of the fun, we're having a parent meeting during the first 10-15 minutes. This will be with Zach in the chapel and is for parents of any youth in Youth Group. Please be on time and ready for the meeting at 5:00 pm! See you Sunday!

Confirmation Family Meeting

We will be conducting an interest meeting for Confirmation on August 24th during the 11:00 service in Room C113. Confirmation is a program we encourage each of our youth to participate in that allows them to learn the basics of their faith in preparation to become full members of the church. This program is open to students 8th grade and older who have not previously completed confirmation. We will meet weekly as a part of Sunday Night Youth Group from September through the end of February.
