God is powerfully moving through the lives of young people and we are so excited to be a part of what God is doing in the lives of the youth and the community. We exist to help youth explore and deepen their faith in such a way that it empowers them to go out to the world sharing the love of Christ and serving those that often are forgotten. We seek to give high school students (9th-12th grade) the opportunity to grow and experience God together in a variety of different ways including mission and service opportunities, large group events, Sunday morning gatherings, and more.
Senior High Youth Video 2010 The video that the senior high youth created for the YMILive contest through the PC (USA) received enough votes to make it to the top ten finalists!!! Watch the video here.
Sunday Mornings Join senior high students on Sunday mornings from 9:15-10:15 in the youth room on the lower level as we dig into the Bible and talk about how it relates to our lives today.
It’s a great opportunity to hang out with friends, meet new people, and take part in a community that is excited about growing together in faith.
Youth also have the opportunity to worship together before or after our Sunday morning programming at 8:30am or 10:30am.
Education Hour has concluded for the 2009-10 program year, but we hope to see you in the fall.
Serve and Lead Leadership Retreat- August 27-28 “You’re not doing youth ministry until your youth are doing ministry”. I believe that phrase rings very true. As our senior high ministry continues to change and grow, we are looking for students that are excited to be a part of what is going on at Westminster and are looking for ways to be leaders in the program. There are many different areas for students to lead in. You may be interested in being a student leader in confirmation or in our House Groups. You may be interested in helping plan and lead upcoming events at Westminster. You may want to mentor a younger student that attends Westminster. Wherever your passion lies, we have a space for you. On August 27-28, there will be a senior high leadership retreat for all students that are interested in being leaders in the 2010-11 program year. This overnight will give you the training and encouragement that you need to be a student leader. We will spend some time getting to know one another, find out what our spiritual gifts are and where we can best use those gifts in the church. We of course will also have plenty of time to have fun (Phantom anyone?) and relax a bit. I hope that you may consider this great opportunity to learn, grow, and have fun with some of your peers and leaders. If this is something that you are interested in, please email Erin ASAP.
