»Youth Group
   Grades 6 - 12

"It's so easy to be friends here, because there's no other way to be."

- Jamie Vitz-Wong, 12th Grade

 

Youth Group is a place where we TALK about things that matter, we DO things that matter and we KNOW we BELONG! We Build Community through play, service, leadership, celebration, trust and prayer.

 

Youth Group's end-of-the-year party.

The youth program at University Congregational UCC is for grades 6-12.

Youth Group meets Sunday mornings from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. High school youth (grades 9-12) meet in the Pilgrim Room and middle school youth (grades 6-8) meet across the hall in room 104.

The five retreats and kids camp take place during the school year and allow youth with an opportunity to both play and reflect on issues of life and faith. The Summer Mission trips allow youth to be the hands and feet of God, sharing and serving while building community.

“Youth group is a place to escape the daily shenanigans, a place to just be yourself, a place to let go of worries and a place to be with people you can trust and count on. We are fully invested in each other by offering support and a listening ear.”
