Youth Group has cool people like you!
Teenagers journey through life together, knowing God loves them! Contact Becca to learn more.
Through youth group ministries, teens spend time and energy together learning about God, themselves, and each other.
We play games, do crafts, lead worship, try Bible study, watch movies and videos, do service projects, go on mission trips, take field trips, and do things both in the church building and around the neighborhood.
New faces are always welcome!
Youth Group | 7th-12th Graders
First Wednesdays, 6:15pm-7:30pm in the Grace Room (September-May)
Teens gather for a two-part evening of pizza dinner and check-in plus a time of faith formation, community building, and fun games, crafts, and activities. You may bring a friend and all are welcome.
Confirmation | 7th-9th Graders
(Last session was 2nd and 4th Sundays, 10:45 am-11:45 am in the Grace Room)
Teens participate in Confirmation for a ministry designed to help youth explore faith and articulate their own faith journey. They work with the youth director, pastor, a church member as their mentor, and many volunteers throughout the year. Topics include Christianity 101, United Methodism, reading the Bible for today’s world (you’ll get a new Bible), and putting faith into action.
Special Events
Dungeons & Dragons nights, gaming nights, mission trips, field trips, outreach and service projects, lock-ins and parties, and other special events are on a periodic basis.
Online Resources
Youth can sign up for Amplify Media for funny and meaningful videos about life and faith.
Faith5 helps families share, read, talk, pray, and bless one another together.
About Teens and Worship:
You are always welcome in worship. Attention is given to select songs and liturgy that have inclusive language, an expanded understanding of love and welcome, and center historically marginalized voices. Sermons often use contemporary illustrations and examples in authentic ways. For example, when Pastor Nate mentions in a sermon that he’s on PlayStation, he actually means it. Teens and adults lead worship side-by-side together. Teens lead the liturgy and prayers, read the scripture text, and serve Holy Communion, and the Children’s Choir sings special music.
Tech Crew | Teens with skills and passion in technology are welcome and encouraged to be part of the worship tech crew. They help run the slides, sound, and cameras, plus the livestream feed that goes out to the church YouTube channel and by audio on the phone.
