To walk by faith, to be a voice of hope, and to be known by love

Youth Ministry

One of PCC’s core values is “Being Children and Youth Oriented” meaning we try to be intentional about including children and youth in the life of the church rather than making it an atmosphere that is only for adults.  Any volunteer working with youth must have up to date background clearance on file with the church office.

During Sunday School, the youth (6th grade-12th grade) have their own class.

BE DARING: PUT YOUR FAITH WHERE THE ACTION IS (Based on The Book of Acts, Chapters 13-28)

Facilitated by: Erin Sudul  (Out-Building, beginning 09/08/24 @ 9:45 am w/Breakfast & Preview)

Do you ever feel like you’re making little difference in this world, merely on the practice squad, warming the bench on Sundays and throughout your week? Jesus says, “Go and make disciples!” “Feed my sheep!” How is that going for you? This fall, dare to travel through dungeon prisons, see the ancient world as if it were today, and witness the marvelous work God can do in this world through a few souls empowered by the Holy Spirt and fully surrendered to His purposes and priorities in this world. Participants will witness Paul’s conversion and spot his imperfections, yet still enter his successes as the Lord uses Paul to share and preach Good News to the lost and dying in his world.

Both the young and older adults will benefit from this journey, particularly knowing that Paul’s God is our God – The God of the ages!

“For in him we live and move and have our being.”
– Acts 17:28
 

KID’S CLUB & JH YOUTH GROUP  – Wednesday evenings, beginning Sept. 11 @ 6:00 pm.

We will begin with a light supper prepared by Jody Baker and Hannah Jean Swanson. Over dinner, we take a moment to celebrate birthdays . Following supper, the children and youth will break into their respected groups for a Bible lesson/discussion, silly and fun games, crafts, and seasonal service and mission projects. We are excited to announce that Michelle Srnka, Jodi Sadler, and Dawn Swanson are returning to work with our kids and youth, assisted by Jody Baker, Jennifer Johnson, and Hannah Dene Swanson.

JH YOUTH
6th through 8th Grades | Facilitated by Dawn Swanson

Our SH YOUTH (9TH-12TH) will continue to gather on Sunday evenings once-per-month, and participate in an occasional excursion/mission project (TBA).

Various special events for the youth include participation in the 30 Hour Famine, sponsored by World Vision; retreat at one of our church camps, Mission Meadows; UNITE – a national, week-long gathering of teens from all across the Evangelical Covenant denomination for discipleship, outreach and fun on the campus of the University of Tennessee.  This event occurs once every three years.

During the summer months, Our youth participate in an outreach for youth in the community by organizing Ultimate Frisbee games at an area park.  At times over 50 youth attend where fun is had by all, but more importantly, relationships are developed and strengthened.
