Sunday Youth Schedule

Junior High
Sixth, seventh and eighth graders are in Sunday School and Youth Group together. 6-8th graders will leave every Sunday (except for the 2nd Sunday) after the children’s sermon and go to the youth room. You will have time to hang out, play games and get to really know the Bible and how it applies to you.
... and eat donuts too.

Our curriculum takes you through the whole Bible over the 3 years.

On the 2nd Sunday and World Communion Sunday, stay in worship and receive Communion.

Jr. and Sr. High Youth Fellowship

(6th- 12th Grade)

Youth Groups at Westminster Presbyterian Church are led by a dedicated team of adults. A focus of the Youth Program promotes the development of moral and spiritual values as well as healthy attitudes and emotions.

A highlight of the senior high year is the annual Mission Trip. Students and adults spend one week during the summer painting, roofing, and repairing homes in impoverished areas that need them. Campers share their stories of faith and growth with the congregation the Sunday after they return with a Mission Trip Report.

See 2009 Mission Trip pictures for highlights.
