Christian Education for Youth

Sunday Morning Worship and Church School
All youth attend the 9:30 a.m. worship service one Sunday each month - Everyone in Worship Sunday - to enhance and expand their knowledge of the worship experience.

Throughout the summer, youth attend worship with the congregation.  During the school year, three youth classes are offered:

Youth ages 11 to 13 are invited to attend a class using Seasons of the Spirit curriculum that engages and challenges young adolescents.

Our Whole Lives (OWL): In some years youth ages 12 - 14 are invited to attend OWL classes, a curriculum focusing on sexuality and faith led by specially trained church members.  OWL class participation is at the discretion of the youths’ parents.

Youth ages 14 to 18 are invited to participate in a group learning experience centered around faith, social issues, and the Bible that relates to their age and cultural interest.

Sunday Afternoon Educational Activities
Confirmation

Confirmation classes are intended for ninth graders (and older students who have not been confirmed) to prepare them for making a decision on church membership and on assuming responsibility for their own faith journey. Senior Pastor Verne Arens teaches this program from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. on most Sunday afternoons from October through April.
