The Community UCC Youth Group is comprised of 6th-12th graders. One of the best ways to describe us is to say that we are a close group made up of individuals. Each member is accepted for who they are, and their unique gifts are appreciated and utilized. We are energetic and thoughtful, intellectual and silly, questioning and believing, serious and fun.
Youth meet to live out our faith by getting together for meals, service projects, retreats, worship planning, lock-ins, games, and fun. We will meet 2nd Sundays from 5-6:30PM and periodically on Sundays from 12-2PM for lunch and activities. The youth participate fully in the life of our church community by hosting the fall poetry slam, the winter variety show, the spring camp-out, and by providing an annual parent's night out, making food for events, and participating fully in all church-wide events.
