Youth at Covenant
Youth are an important part of the life of Covenant Presbyterian Church. Our youth ministry (6th–12th grade) exists to support families as students grow in faith, learn to follow Jesus Christ, and take their place within the worshiping and serving life of the church.
We seek to create space for students to build relationships, ask honest questions, and grow in a Christian worldview grounded in Scripture, worship, and life together in the church.
Our Approach
We believe the church plays an important role alongside parents and families during the middle and high school years. Youth ministry at Covenant is not meant to replace the worshiping life of the church, but to support it by encouraging students to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ within the covenant community.
Our goal is to help students develop a faith that is thoughtful, rooted in Scripture, and lived out through love for God and neighbor.
Sunday Worship and Sunday School
Youth are encouraged to participate fully in the Sunday worship service with the congregation.
Sunday School for students in 6th–12th grade takes place following the worship service, typically beginning shortly after worship concludes (usually between 11:35 and 11:45 am).
During Sunday School, students spend time together in the Youth House, with a portion of the hour devoted to games and conversation, and another to studying Scripture, often working through books of the Bible chapter by chapter.
Adult and children’s Sunday School classes are offered at the same time.
Sunday Night Youth Group
Sunday Night Youth Group meets most Sundays from 4:00–6:00 pm in the Youth House, located on the east side of the church near the back parking lot.
This gathering serves as the primary entry point into our youth ministry. Evenings typically include time for fellowship and games, structured activities that build community, teaching focused on developing a Christian worldview, and opportunities for conversation and discussion. Periodically, the group stays later to share a meal together.
Wednesday Night Programs (Seasonal)
During the spring and fall, youth are invited to participate in Wednesday night programs as part of the church’s midweek life.
Wednesday Night Dinner is held in the Fellowship Hall, followed by youth programming in the Youth House. Students meet in small groups, organized as a guys’ group and a girls’ group, to share about life together and to study Scripture. These evenings are focused on discipleship, prayer, and learning to live faithfully as followers of Christ.
Details about Wednesday night programs are shared through the church’s weekly newsletter.
