Youth
For more information about the Youth Ministry Program, contact Nancy Hodgkins
Westminster Youth (grades 7-12) enjoy a robust program of education, fellowship and music opportunities. The youth ministry program at Westminster is relational; encouraging faith exploration and formation through meaningful bible study, conversation and lasting relationships with friends and adult leaders.
Youth Theme
Grade 7 through Grade 12
Branching Out is the theme chosen by the PYC, Westminster's youth leadership team, for the 2022-2023 program year. Throughout the year active participants in the youth fellowship program will be learning about who they are and who God has called them to be in the world. It will be a year of discovery, relationship building, discernment and trying new things.
Fellowship
Westminster has two youth fellowship groups: a Junior High group (grades 7 & 8) and a Senior High group (grades 9 - 12). The two groups have regular meetings on Sunday evenings enjoying a well-balanced program of activities that focus on fellowship, worship, study and small group conversations.
A typical Sunday evening schedule begins with dinner, a gathering time for singing, and introduction to our topic for the night. Youth then move into small groups for activities and conversation. At the end of the evening all the youth return to Fellowship Hall for closing circle, our ritual time of sharing and prayer.
