Youth

Vision:

• Gather
  • Life is better in community, and we will strive to provide opportunities and safe spaces for youth to make meaningful connection with each other and leaders.
• Grow
  • Each of us is on a journey, and spiritual formation is the central goal of our time together. Learning from each other the principles of Christ-centered teaching is fundamentally important.
• Go
  • We cannot simply come together and learn; we are compelled as Christ-followers to make disciples and serve our community and beyond.

Values:

• Spiritual formation
  • We will not compromise in continuing to learn and grow in our faith journey through teaching and group discussion.
• Worship
  • Worship is a corporate or individual moment of gratitude and reflection, and our gathering times will give the space for those present to engage in Christ-centric celebratory worship.
• Outreach
  • Whether it is a neighboring organization or an international mission, we will show the love of Christ through the gift of serving those around us.

Confirmation:

Confirmation is an 8 month program for rising 6th grade students. During this time, they will meet together on Sunday mornings with a group of adult leaders to explore the basic tenets of the Christian faith, and to learn what it means to become a fully devoted follower of Christ.

In April, Confirmands will have the opportunity in a church-wide service to respond to the grace of God available to us, as acknowledged in baptism, and commit to live as a person of faith.
