We offer a safe space for youth (grades 6-12) to wrestle with questions on the intersection of faith and life.
We believe each individual brings unique gifts to the body of Christ.
Each Sunday evening
our middle-school and high-school youth gather to examine the world and the issues they encounter, and discern how they, as Christian disciples, should respond.

Just for Fun Fellowship

Youth Sunday
Youth Sunday is led entirely by the youth —from the preaching to the praying to the music. It's a highlight for youth and the congregation.
Youth Sunday is March 15, 2026. All students are welcome to participate.
Retreats
Each year, groups travel to offsite retreats for study, worship, and recreation with youth from all over the country.
Middle School Winter Retreat, February 20-22, 2026 at Massanetta Springs Conference Center in Harrisonburg, VA.
Confirmation
Grades 8 and Above
Confirmation is a period of study and discernment, during which youth examine their faith and discover how they can become more involved in the life of the church. At the conclusion, members of the confirmation class have the opportunity to publicly profess their faith.
