About Us

Pizza Plus is for youth in 4th and 5th grade, on Monday afternoons after choir rehearsal at 5pm to join in fellowship. It is called Pizza Plus because our favorite meal to have together is pizza and the plus is for the fun we have! This group’s focus is on meeting together to eat, play games, sing, and begin learning about mission through smaller service projects like the Crop Walk, Community Meals, and church clean up.

Our Junior High group are youth in 6th-8th grades. They meet Mondays from 6:00-7:30pm. They will be exploring their place in the church through trying different opportunities in the church like ushering, greeting, fellowship time, community meals, Family Promise, helping with Church School events, Praise Band, and other community service opportunities. For fun we plan to go the Corn Maze, bowling, canoeing, hiking, concerts, sleding, and YMCA.

Senior High Youth Group is the busiest group not just in school activities but youth activities too. Between collecting bottles, Crop Walk, visiting the nursing home, yard cleanups, helping out with church events, Reach Workcamps Mission trip in the summer, they do find some time for fun too. In addition to all the fun activities that the group enjoys together, the High School youth are at the crossroads in their faith allowing for us to have more serious discussions. Meetings are Sundays from 10:30-11:30.

Prayer Partners: Youth of the church will be paired with a member of the church for both parties to pray for each other. This is a win-win effort. Some of these relationships will develop into closer, more meaningful relationships beyond prayer.  New volunteers are always welcome as our youth program grows.  Talk to Marianne Wilson if interested.
