Youth Ministry

Growing up is hard. We believe our youth should have a safe space to explore their faith, build relationships with each other and with God, and learn to live as Christ teaches us.

To help with that, we provide routine gatherings for middle and high school students to live out their faith in a world that is broken. We do that through worship, love, service, and witness.

Ultimately it’s our hope that our students will go into the world with a deeper understanding of their relationship with God, knowing how to live as Christ instructs us, and showing love to all they encounter.

Confirmation

Confirmation is a time for eighth graders to confirm their baptismal vows, explore their faith and claim it as their own, deepen their relationship with God and discover what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and part of the Presbyterian tradition. Each youth is partnered with a Confirmation Sponsor, an adult church member outside of their family, with whom they can share their faith and questions.
