Junior high youth serve as acolytes. Senior high youth serve as 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.

Confirmation (Grades 6-8)
Sunday 11:15 a.m. - 12:00 noon beginning on September 18
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.). This 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, Karen Sherrick
