Teen Internships

Picture
​We are looking for teens with talent! If you are good at sports, science, computers, art, or anything else, let us know! We are offering short term volunteer internships for kids thirteen to nineteen. We currently have many opportunities open throughout the church!

So far we have lots of teens (6th grade and up) working in the Sunday School. If you would like to help out contact leewilliams40@outlook.com!


Submerge
(Grades 7 & 8)

Confirmation:  We meet on Wednesday evening 7:00 to 8:30pm.  Our time together is structured around team building and growing in our understanding of God.  We have a two year rotation of lessons.  Alternating between learning about Scripture and the catechism (or a lot of the other faith stuff).  Youth are encouraged to bring their questions so we can wrestle with them together.  
Youth will have an opportunity to affirm their Baptism after their second year.  We welcome new youth to join us!
​Contact Pastor Dustin if you are interested or have questions.

Emerge 
​(High School)

Youth Group:​  We meet on Sundays during the school year from noon to 2:00. Once a month we go to a local coffee shop and enjoy a cup of coffee with Christ. The other weeks there is time for hanging out and exploring life.  Our time together also has us exploring matters of faith through reading the Bible together in a way that helps it to come alive in our own context and lives.  
Please join us for this time of learning, fun and sharing.
Contact Pastor Dustin if you are interested or have questions.
