Our youth group is led by members of our congregation. The youth group is open to kids Grade 6 and older. We meet once a month for a time of fun activities and Christian learning. We are blessed with parents who are involved in the youth group and help in preparing and sponsoring the different activities each month. Some of the activities we have enjoyed in the past are: getting lost in the corn maze near Thamesville, cosmic bowling, hide and seek in the sanctuary (don't tell the elders!), scavenger hunts, games and video evenings, pizza and ice skating and our year end parties. We also go on a retreat for a weekend in September. The youth group sponsors various activities in the church and has raised money for various charities. Our last major projects include holding lunches and participating in a concert to raise money for our restoration fund. This July our youth are organizing a "back yard" mission trip. Stay tuned for photos of that event! The youth group is geared toward having fun, AND learning how to be a disciple of Jesus Christ - regardless of our age. To that effect, we have coordinated what we teach in the youth group with what is being covered in our Middle and High School Classes. All three groups use DASH Leadership material, based on the book The Seven Checkpoints (Seven Principles Every Teenage Needs to Know.) We endeavour to teach our teens how to make wise, biblical choices to help them live in a way that honours Christ and maximizes their God-given potential. Everyone is welcome!!!
