For Youth: Grades 6-12
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
Grades 6-8: Middle Schoolers on the Move
Youth in grades 6 to 8 travel through the church and the community, with two adult guides, discovering and reflecting on God's presence in many people and places.
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 gather in classroom #3 for refreshments and conversation with peers about relevant life and faith issues.
