TITLE

Families with youth are encouraged to be engaged in worship services and throughout the ministries of the church!

During Worship
All youth are welcome during each of our worship services. For little ones who like to join their adults in worship, the interactive Play Table in the sanctuary offers a child-friendly space with parental supervision. Likewise, Young at Heart Time takes place during each worship service for youth to learn more about God.

Youth Events
Youth and Family Events include fun activities and service projects occurring once or twice a month.
Events include: bowling, Super Bowl fundraiser, movies, splash pad, pool parties, mini-golf, youth work days, and more.
September Block Party - Each year we start off the educational season with a block party, a time that includes fun, food, and fellowship for all. Using our west parking area and Tower Park, this annual outdoor event is a great way to meet congregation members & make new friends.

Affirmation of Baptism
Affirmation of Baptism guides middle and high school through high school youth through multiple learning opportunities so they will be prepared to be adult members of the congregation. The journey of their faith happens on Sunday mornings as well as some more focused Saturday sessions.

Vacation Bible School
Each summer we offer a fun, relevant, Biblical based way for youth to apply and connect faith to the world around them. VBS is geared for church and community members alike. A free meal is shared before we leap into the joy of the year’s planned theme. Evening schedule allows parents to join the youth for the fun!
• Free meal at 5:30pm
• Learning, Art, and Activities 6:00pm-7:30pm
