Sr. High Youth Group meets on Thursdays from 5:30-7 PM.

Students in grades 9-12, gather together to play games and talk about issues of faith and life.

Youth participate in annual activities, including trips to Tall Timber Camp, the Unite Winter Retreat, and mission trip to Neah Bay.

One of the greatest privileges we have as pastors is to help young people explore what it means to live as a Christian and to serve Jesus Christ through the church.  One significant avenue for exploring a personal decision to live a life of faith is through confirmation class.  Through weekly study and the disciplines of daily devotional time and mission projects, young people are oriented to Christian theology, doctrine, and church membership.  This period of preparation gives youth an opportunity to discern if they are ready to make a public confession of faith and be received into the membership of the church.
