Other Opportunities
Third Sunday Small Groups
Every third Sunday of the month, we host small groups that can meet on or off site between 6:30 and 8:00 p.m. They are led by intentionally developed leaders who engage youth where they are with age-appropriate and stage-specific topics.
Local Service Projects
These are offered regularly to encourage our youth to grow in their faith and develop Christian leadership skills.
Confirmation Program
Students 7th grade and above take responsibility for their faith by learning more about the PCUSA theology and spirituality. These youth attend mission projects, classes, interfaith worship services, a retreat, and meet with adult mentors from the congregation for a three month period to prepare them to become members.
