Youth Activities
We encourage every youth to participate in worship by being an acolyte, worship leader, and Bible/Cross carrier. Please sign up using the links below.

Senior High (Worship Leader, Bible/Cross Carrier): https://bit.ly/3k3auxs
Parents: Youth Group will gather 16 times this school year, and it is truly a welcome fellowship with a great dinner. Could you help us encourage these youth by hosting a dinner? Please sign up at https://bit.ly/3jYYEoc.
Junior high youth serve as acolytes. Senior high youth serve as youth ushers, Nursery and Sunday school assistants, Bible and Cross Carriers (on Communion Sundays) and worship leaders during the worship service. Youth members serve in the governing bodies of our church as youth deacons and elders. Our Christmas Eve tradition is a candlelight service conducted by the high school seniors, and the Children's Service assisted by the juniors and the confirmation class. Youth Sunday was held on March 21, 2021.

Confirmation (Grades 6-8)
Sunday 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 beginning on September 19
Confirmation is the process through which youth affirm the vows made at their Baptism and become active members of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Three-year Confirmation class provides a comprehensive review of our faith based on the Scripture. We will integrate two curriculums, “Big God, Big Questions” and “Echo, The Story” to connect our confessional faith statements and the Scripture. It is our hope that in the midst of uncertainty, God’s steadfastness will be explained, exemplified, and experienced by being together in this class.
Teachers: Rev. Choi, Sally Godbey, Jim Kincaid, Anna Koeppel
