Middle & High School Ministry
Confirmation Class
Wednesdays • 6 – 7 PM
Sundays • 10:30 – 11:15 AM
In preparation to affirm their baptismal promises, Confirmation is designed to give middle schoolers (6th-8th grade) space to ask questions and grow in their faith alongside peers and mentors. We explore what it means to live out our faith each day through service, acolyting, and more!
Middle School Youth Group
See Calendar for upcoming events!
Each month, youth in grades 6th through 8th gather for a fun event ranging from ice cream tours of Old Town Fort Collins, Lock-Ins in the church, Bowling nights, and so much more! This is a space for youth to connect, grow closer to each other, have fun, and explore what it means to be a Child of God in the world today.
High School Youth Group
Wednesdays • 7:15 – 8:15 PM
High School youth group is a space for youth in grades 9th through 12th to grow in faith, deepen their relationships with each other and God, give back to the community through service projects, and have fun! We meet in the Teen Room, and each Wednesday night of the month brings a new opportunity to engage. And we have monthly special events on different nights!
