Our youth are involved in all aspects of our ministry and in many youth activities, including Sunday morning classes, evening programs, youth choir, and hand-bell choir, mission projects and trips. The Director of Youth Ministries and the Committee on Youth Ministries provide the leadership for these programs.

Youth Forum (Grades 9-12)
Meets weekly on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM in the Youth Room and provides fellowship and discussion relating scripture to life concerns for high school students. The curriculum includes the meaning and experiences of the Christian faith as found in the Bible, in history, and in our encounter with people and contemporary society.

Youth Fellowship (Grades 9-12)
Meets as announced for special projects, activities, fund-raising, fellowship and discussion. Youth are encouraged to participate in local outreach projects and go on an annual youth mission trip, usually a week-long visit to help others and grow in their faith while learning more about the difficulties some have in surviving. In recent years, youth and advisors have participated with other youth and adults in an interdenominational "Reach" workcamp in such places as New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

Middle School Class and Fellowship (usually Grades 7&8)
Meets on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM for Bible study and discussion that relates our Christian faith to our lives. They are also involved in service projects and fellowship activities. Seekers Class for Confirmation/Baptism is offered every other year on Sunday mornings to middle school youth desiring to make this journey. Youth may decide to join the church after completing this course. The group usually attends a Nightwatch program at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City.
