Youth

We are a group of middle and high schoolers (and young-hearted adults) who like to laugh, play, learn, pray and serve together as part of a vibrant and supportive church community.

Grades 6-12

Middle & High School Students

We come together because God has passion for us. God gave us everything in Jesus Christ, who loved his people – and loves us -- so much, he endured and overcame death on a cross. Nothing can separate us from that love: not endless waves of homework and tests, not schedules filled with practices and events, not the college admissions process or low self-esteem or bad choices or broken relationships. Nothing! That’s good news. And with the Spirit’s help, our youth ministry is about sharing it. We would love for you to join us.

Youth on a Mission Auction

A celebration to support youth mission trips and need-based scholarships, this special churchwide fellowship event will feature a Celtic theme in honor of our Northern Ireland/Scotland HS mission this summer, with heavy appetizers, a silent auction, a dynamic live auction, and entertainment. This auction is planned as a recurring event every 3–5 years, meaning your generosity will have a lasting impact on several classes of WPC Youth.

We are accepting item donations if you have something to offer, you are willing to ask a local business to donate, or you’d like to donate something together with friends. Please fill out the form as soon as possible, no later than Jan. 31.

Student Events

We often think that youth group happens within the walls of the church. But we can be a part of a faith community anywhere - even from the stands at your soccer game or the theater where you're performing. Do you have upcoming games, performances, etc.? Let us know! Enter as many as you want to in this form and we will do our best to come out to support you at at least one of these events. We'll let you know we're coming!

Be a Youth Advisor

We are always looking for more youth advisors! We need leaders for Sunday mornings, MS youth group, and HS youth group. If you as a parent would like to be an advisor, you can serve an opposite age group (if you have a HS students, be a MS advisor) or ask your youth for their approval to be an advisor. Email Olivia if you are interested.

Confirmation 2023

Blog from NYC

Our Confirmation Class of 2023 spent MLK weekend together in New York City -- building community, serving others, worshipping together, and talking about faith. Hear about their weekend and how they spent time intentionally learning about the importance of religion in NYC and the history of civil rights & faith in Harlem.
