For Youth - Grades 7-12
Education for discipleship is a life-long endeavor. Every child of God from cradle to grave is on a spiritual journey, and we provide the opportunities and resources for all ages to learn, stretch and grow in faith. We are blessed at Westminster to be a congregation that values all generations and welcomes the active participation of young people in every aspect of congregational life. We also provide learning, service, and fellowship opportunities designed especially for the unique needs of adolescent youth.
SUNDAY MORNINGS
Younger Youth - Grades 6-8
Middle school youth meet in classroom 7. The curriculum for this class is the creative and highly interactive lessons from Spice Rack, produced by Youth Ministry Architects. It was designed with young teens in mind, and connects the teachings of the Bible to real life situations.
Confirmation is an intentional, year-long, group process that integrates worship, Bible study, mission, spiritual practices, and fellowship in order to build trust in God and trust among peers. The goal for our youth is curiosity, commitment and passion for a life of faith and Christian discipleship.
High school teens have a variety of choices available to them on Sunday mornings. They may join their peers for stimulating discussion on faith issues or current issues; they may sign up to help with children in Workshop Rotation or Under Six or they are welcome to attend adult classes that interest them.
