Sunday School

We have a dedicated team of volunteer teachers who lead each class and help youth connect the teachings of our Christian creeds and Scriptures with their own lives. Our youth programs are meeting in person this fall! Please come to the Multipurpose Building (campus map) for Sunday School. We'll meet there briefly then split to:

  • 11/12th grade: Multipurpose Building
  • 9/10th grade: Big Youth House Room
  • Middle School Boys: Youth House Basement
  • Middle School Girls: Multipurpose Basement

Bring a friend to youth group for small group lessons and games. Youth Group meets 6:30-8:00 pm on Sunday evenings, beginning with dinner together. Parents are invited to join for dinner, and then stay for fellowship while youth group meets.

Confirmation

Students who are 9th grade and older can choose to participate in Confirmation, which is a dedicated season to learn about their personal faith and culminates in a public profession of faith and membership at National Presbyterian Church.

Retreats, Summer Trips, Special Events

Sign up for our e-newsletter or check the events page for our fall retreats, summer mission trip and camps, and other special events. 9th-12th graders took a summer mission trip to the Dominican Republic in 2022. Check out the photos below!

...where we’ll be helping construct a second story!

Serving

We provide many opportunities for youth to serve throughout the year! Helping with food drives, packing up welcome boxes for families moving from homelessness to homes, and making sandwiches for those with food insecurities are just a few examples. In addition, high school students who are interested in helping lead and disciple some of our children are invited to serve as youth leaders for the weekly Club 45 (4th and 5th graders). If you are interested, please contact Kristin!

Registration

Prior to your youth's participation in our youth activities, we ask that you complete a brief registration.
