LINK to current calendar activities for the youth
Our Uniting Church has an exciting and diverse ministry for youth grades 3-12.
The older youth meet weekly from 4:00-6:30 Sunday evenings.
During the summer months we also engage in an outreach work trip for high school youth, and youth camps and a high school conference in cooperation with the North Texas Area of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Our main goal is to provide youth with a Christian environment a place where they feel accepted and safe, where they can learn and grow, and where they can develop their Christian faith. We focus on more than hearing the Christian message. We act on our faith by doing service (outreach), study, community building/Fellowship and worship so youth experience what it means to be a follower of Christ.
Christian Youth Fellowship is made up of teenagers in grades
9-12. CYF
meets from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. on Sunday evenings during which time they participate in group
building activities, service projects, study, and/or fellowship. CYF members develop
leadership skills and church involvement by serving in worship (as deacons who help with the offering and communion during Sunday worship each week), as
well as once a month serving as worship leader, our youth also serve
on the Area Youth Ministry Council in the planning of area camps,
conference, and retreats. CYF youth participate in the North Texas Area (of the Christian
Church (Disciples of Christ)) Fall and Spring Rallies as well as summer camps and
conferences. Each year, the CYF youth raise money to finance a work trip taken in the
summer time. This is an active group with lots of opportunities for involvement and
we welcome you to explore your faith journey with us.
Chi Rho Fellowship is made up of junior high youths in
grades 6 through 8. Chi Rho meets from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. each Sunday
night. Chi Rho
also participates in special traditional activities such as a trip to Six Flags in the
fall. They participate in the North Texas Area of the
Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Fall and Spring Rallies as well as summer camps
and conferences. As always, friends and visitors are welcome.
Our Junior Youth Fellowship program is for those in grades 3-5. We meet from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. and will begin meeting soon. These youth participate in service projects, fun activities, and worship experiences as they begin their journey in youth programming.
Our church has just begun a unique program for all youth. From 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. each Sunday night, the youth from grades 3-12 will practice music for performance during worship. They will play instruments that they already know. They will learn and play handbells, and they will sing in groups, trios, duets, and solos as they feel comfortable. This is a serious music program intended for the worship of God during the Sunday morning service.
Our church is part of the North Texas Area, and many area-wide camps and conferences occur during each calendar. For more information, talk to Aaron or Susan.
