Youth Ministry

Grades 6 - 12

Overview
Youth Ministry Fellowship (grades 6-12) provides an opportunity for students to develop a personal understanding of who they are in light of who God is and in the context of peers. Our desire is to help students navigate this season of life with a solid understanding of Jesus' love for them, and how they belong to and within a larger body of believers.

We gather the 2nd and 4th Sunday night of the month from 5:00-7:00pm (during standard time; 5:30-7:30 during daylight savings) at the church for games, dinner, and discipleship. Friends are always welcome! If you would like to hear more about youth gatherings in 2026 or have questions, please contact Hannah King+, our interim youth leader.

What To Expect

We gather bi-weekly for fellowship and games, dinner, teaching, discussion, and prayer. Our quarterly 5th Sundays often serve as a special movie night. Teens from other churches are welcome even if they don’t attend our Sunday worship services.

We engage in a variety of activities throughout the year, including mission trips, hikes, service projects, retreats, and other good stuff.

Previous Conversations

This past spring we went through Alpha Youth, a discussion-based series on big questions about faith and a relationship with God. Alpha is designed to invite deeper engagement with faith and to welcome those questions that we may not have had permission to ask before—no question is too hostile or too simple.

Each week included teaching on a topic from a Christian perspective followed by discussion in which people were invited share their own perspective or simply listen to the thoughts of others. 

Alpha began in the Church of England but has since been utilized in churches, schools, offices, and prisons in over 100 countries and in 110 languages to invite people into a dynamic relationship with Christ and His Church.
