Youth

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.

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.
