“Youth Group” is for grades 6-12.

Youth Group meets every Sunday morning from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m., except the first Sunday of the month, in the Youth Lounge.

We have hot breakfast food to cook together and enjoy, along with a lot of hanging out, relaxing, and play time together. We have Community Circle, teambuilding, and we split into groups to engage in faith-based discussions, stories and contemplative practices.

There are often monthly events outside of Sunday morning as well, including lock-ins, amusement park adventure, haunted house adventure, Christmas party.

The Youth Group has a service-learning trip on Presidents Day weekend! Last year we went to Cincinnati.

The mission of Youth Group is to provide a community that values, respects and loves each other just as they are and to provide a space where adolescents can learn about their identity in Christ, question, experiment and grow. In partnership with differing communities, the Youth Group strives to serve the community, learn about racial disparities and stand for justice and equity.
