DAVID'S

YOUTH MINISTRY

From our Vision Statement:

We lift up as of highest importance the young people 
of our church.  We pledge to involve them in every 
aspect of congregational life.
   We will use every resource at our disposal
           to share with them the light of a living faith.

With that in mind, David's offers a wide variety of 

Christian growth and 
fellowship opportunities for our youth. 

• Nursery - Available during both worship services and the Christian Growth time (Sundays at 9:15) for infants through age three.

• Diversity City - Sunday School like you haven't seen it before! An approach which teaches faith using active learning. pre-kindergarten through sixth graders move to different learning modules each Sunday studying key Biblical events for a month at a time.

• A New Space - Discussion about real issues that matter to sixth and seventh graders. Join us in the youth room at 9:15 Sunday mornings!

• Confirmation - A program designed to lead young people (generally in the eighth grade) to an affirmation of belief and a commitment to serve Christ. Meets Sundays at 9:15 a.m.

• High School Class - Breakfast Club gathering of ninth through twelfth graders, with a focus on mutual support and faith deepening by connecting faith to nature, media, the arts and discussion. Meets Sundays at 10:15 a.m. at Harvest Moon.

• Vacation Bible School - A summer experience for five weekday evenings in which children ages three through twelve learn lessons from the Bible, make crafts, sing songs and play games. The older youth help with teaching and the activities.

• Church Camp - The United Church of Christ has two camps north of Columbus (Pilgrim Hills and Templed Hills) that offer a multitude of retreats and camping experiences for all ages.

• Dunkirk Family Camp - Each year in mid-July, there is an opportunity for families of all kinds to enjoy a week together in fellowship and learning in the relaxed atmosphere of Dunkirk Conference Center, on the shores of Lake Erie in New York state.
