Youth Group
a place to talk about things that matter with people who care
Weekly Youth Group Meetings
YG meets on Wednesday evenings during the school year from 6:15 - 8:00 p.m. We get to spend time all together with our middle and high school youth group friends enjoying laughter and games, a snack, and exploring God's word and learning more about our faith together. We also get to catch up and get to know each other by sharing our "highs and lows" from the past week, and spend time in small groups, as well.
Youth Group is a place where you can talk about things that matter with people who care.
Anyone in grades 6 - 12 is welcome at Youth Group!
High School Hangouts
On the second Sunday of every month, during the school year, high school students are invited to join us for fellowship, good conversation, and sometimes a special activity or teaching topic! We gather in the evening, typically around 6:00 pm until about 8:30 pm, though the time varies based on the activity.
Anyone in grades 9 - 12 is welcome to come hang out!

Beach Day - Sunday, June 28
We are heading to Hampton Beach on Sunday, June 28! We will leave from WPC at 11:15 am and return at 7:00 pm, after a stop for dinner at McDonald's.
Make sure to bring your own lunch, water, and snacks, sunscreen, a towel, $5 for your driver to help cover gas and parking, some money for dinner, and (optionally) spending money for boardwalk treats!
As always, you can invite anyone who is in middle or high school to come along! This is a great event to bring a friend too :)
Please let Anna Wardwell know if you are planning to come so that we can be sure we have enough drivers, and please take a minute to fill out our YG Permission Slip.
Lake Day - Sunday July 26
Join us for an afternoon and evening of boating, swimming, tubing, lawn games, and more! Alan and Bonnie Mahan will be our gracious hosts and boat drivers for the day.
We'll gather at their home from 3:00 - 8:30 p.m. We'll enjoy a cookout dinner together, then end the evening with s'mores around the fire.
Anyone who has just completed grades 5 - 12 is invited to be a part of the fun. I hope you can join us!
Please reach out to Anna Wardwell for the address if you plan to attend, and please take a minute to fill out our YG Permission Slip.
Game Nights:
We host Game Nights roughly once per month during the school year for anyone in grades 6 - 12. Game Nights are a great chance to unwind, have fun, and make friends! We get together from 6:15 pm - 9:00 pm, and serve pizza, popcorn, lemonade, and dessert!
Deep Freeze:
Spending the weekend at camp together is a great chance to get away from the stresses and pressures of life for a few days. At Camp Berea we get to make new friends or deepen the friendships we have, make great memories together, enjoy excellent live worship music, play basketball, go tubing, do a polar plunge called “The Deep Freeze Dive” (if you want to!), learn from the camp's speaker about following Jesus, and take time to talk about faith and life together. Not only is Deep Freeze a refreshing and fun getaway, but it shows us that when we make space for God to work in our lives, He shows up!
Save the date! Deep Freeze 2027 will be January 15 - 17!
Annual Mission Trip:
Our 2026 Youth Group Mission Trip is happening soon! We will be serving with The Philadelphia Project from July 5 – 11. This trip is a wonderful opportunity to serve and grow in faith in a diverse, safe, appropriately challenging, and faith-based environment. Please pray for those who are serving on this trip!
Service Opportunities
Putting our faith into action is important to us! Roughly once per month, we get together to serve others.
Anyone in grades 6 - 12 is welcome to join us in serving, and we can verify your hours for school.
On Sunday, October 25, from 11:15 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., we will make lunches for Isaiah 58, a local organization that serves those who are struggling to make ends meet.
