Youth Club is our mid-week education and fellowship program for youth in grades 2-8.   The goal of Youth Club is to help youth develop a positive relationship with God, adults and peers AND to understand that they are each awesome children of God with unique gifts to share.    We make new friends and have a LOT of fun along the way!     The Wednesday evening program runs from 5:00–7:30 and is offered in two sessions:

PREP – Primary Religious Education Program for grades 2-5.

PREP is offered in two, eight-week sessions twice during the school year. Once in the fall and again starting in January. Activities include rec time in the gym, Bible Discovery Time, a yummy,family-style dinner, art and music.   During the first four sessions in January, First Communion Instruction is included as part of this program for youth in fourth grade or older who have not yet received First Communion.

SOS – Servants Of the Spirit, for grades 6-8.

SOS also includes two sessions per year - one from September through December and the second from January through April. These evenings include one hour of grade-level instruction from 5:00-6:00 (Confirmation instruction for 7th & 8th grades) followed by a tasty, family-style dinner from 6:00-6:45. After dinner we break into small groups called Faith Connections Classes from 6:45-7:30. Faith Connections classes offer the opportunity for fellowship with other youth led by volunteers from our congregation who share their passions in areas such as crafts, service, sports, music and other areas.   Special speaker and large group service project nights are part of the after-dinner fun as well.
