PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

6th & 8th Grade (non-Sacramental Jr. High Youth group):

Emphasis on Saints & learning to read the bible using the "Encounter" program from Ascension press as video series once monthly.  Additional mix of fun, adoration, and service projects.

7th Grade: Confirmation

Tim Meuer is so excited to lead you in preparation for Confirmation! He is committed to making things compelling and interesting for both adults and youth as we discover the power of the Holy Spirit together. Confirmation students also get to attend the highly anticipated “Fire & Ice” youth Holy Spirit retreat in December.

9th-12th Grade: “4:12 Youth”

High School youth group has a new name voted on by current youth! There are several important scriptures in the bible where Chapter 4, Verse 12 is very impactful, and that is where the name comes from. 1 Timothy 4:12 says, “Let no one have contempt for your youth, but set an example for those who believe, in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity.” Our High School program aims to meet youth where they are to make sure they feel loved, seen and supported, as well as getting practical tools to live their life with faith in a secularized world.
