Sunday school and youth group are offered for our 6th and 7th graders. Sunday school begins in September and runs through May. We meet during 10:45 worship in the youth room. We study the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, we discuss what it means to be a Christian, and we learn the basics of navigating the Bible. The class is taught in a discussion setting. Students are encouraged to bring questions and dive deeper into their faith.

Confirmation class meets on Sunday evenings during the school year from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. We begin the evening in the sanctuary for 30 minutes of prayer and praise time. At 7:00, we move to a classroom. Together we study the nature of God, Bible Basics, the Sacraments, and the History of the UCC. We also discuss topics including Miracles, Death & Resurrection, Living Our Faith, Prayer and Spirituality. In addition to weekly classes, confirmands visit four outside worship services, we participate in monthly Service Saturdays as outreach within our community and each confirmand meets regularly with an adult mentor from within our congregation. We have several overnight retreats during the year and take time to build relationships within our class.

We offer youth group weekly on Sunday evenings from 6:30 - 8:00 for our high school youth. We begin the evening in the sanctuary for 30 minutes of praise and prayer time. At 7:00, we move to the youth room. Typically in youth group we have a topic to discuss and activities relating to the topic. We talk about a variety of issues including peer pressure, the meaning of prayer, building our faith, alcohol and drug use, other religions, and friendship. We are open to many points of view and strive to allow everyone to feel comfortable within our group. We share in retreats and overnight activities designed to foster friendship and Christian fellowship.

Each summer our youth attend a week-long mission trip. In recent years we have served in places including West Virginia, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, Colorado and Georgia.  Summer 2008, we will be helping to build and repair homes in Southeastern Kentucky from July 12 though July 20.  While the trip itself takes place during the summer, fundraising and planning take almost an entire year! Answering Christ's call to service is an experience that brings us closer to one another and to God. Participants come back with new insights, understanding and relationships.

One Sunday a month is designated WAHOO! Sunday (Worship And Have Outrageous Outings!) for our youth.  We meet at the 10:45 service, share in worship together, eat lunch as a group  in the Youth Room, and then head out for an Outrageous Outing!  All youth are invited and should plan to attend.
