Senior High Youth Group is open to grades 9-12.

Description: Sharing faith with our friends while having fun.

Let's face it – high school is full of pressures:

  • Pressure of exams, grades, GPA's and SAT's;
  • Pressure from teachers and parents;
  • Pressure to make the right choices;
  • Pressure to choose the right path for your life, the right college, the right job, the right relationships.

Sometimes you just need a place where you can hang your hat with a group of other kids who understand the pressures you face every day – in a place where you know you won't be judged – but instead supported in everything you are going through.

Senior High Youth Group is such a place. We meet together weekly to relax, to help others, to have fun, to share our faith. We are an open group and welcome all who would like to join us!

When and Where: SYG meets every other week on Sunday evenings from 6:30 – 8:00 pm in the youth room unless posted differently.

SYG is now on Facebook: Please create a Facebook account (www.facebook.com) and invite Sharon Bliss or SLBisSWEET to be your friend! We'll take it from there and invite you to be part of the SYG group! You'll find pictures of our events and helpful information! Join us!

SYG's Mission: Senior Youth Group revolves around four components: faith development, fellowship, service and social action. The youth have chosen the theme of ‘Inclusitivity’ this year as we participate in one of the ‘Big Ideas’ put forth by our church’s vision team. We will be challenging ourselves to move out of our comfort zones to test our biases and see where exploring our differences leads. To borrow the words of teen Christian writers Alex and Brett Harris, we aim to “Raise the Bar” and “Do Hard Things” this year. SYG is scheduled to travel to Philadelphia in July to participate in a week long mission where we will lend a hand in soup kitchen and homeless shelters.
