Every adolescent wants to be loved.
At this youth group, our mission is that they will be, ​and that the love they’re shown will point them back to Jesus.

Assistant Pastor of
Youth & Families
​Joshua Vachon

​Our teens are a vibrant part of this church.  We strive to keep them engaged and help them navigate their often confusing, frustrating and over scheduled lives. 
The intent of our program is to create a space where our teens can experience earnest love, genuine care, and the unconditional positive regard of Jesus Christ, through the mechanism of compassionate mentoring, peer relationships, and the transformative power of the Gospel that informs all of it.

Encapsulating our mission for this program are three words: Belong, Believe, Become

​2021 Youth Missions

Our Youth Group Month of Missions represents an opportunity for our church's youth to live out their faith and serve others in their local community! Teens will have the opportunity to work alongside several different local area organizations each week in August, and cap off their service with a retreat to reflect on the ways in which the Lord used them to make a real, meaningful difference in the lives of others. Current partners are Mustard Seed, Salvation Army & Habitat for Humanity.
Days of service will be Saturday August 7th, 14th, and 21st, with our retreat taking place from Friday, August 27th-Sunday afternoon, August 29th.​

Confirmation

Confirmation occurs at a time in a teens life when they are “coming of age” and beginning to make decisions about the world they’ve been brought up in and what they will take with them into adult life.  Confirmation gives teens a chance to take a hard look at their Christian faith, ask questions, dig deep and make a decision as to whether or not they want to embrace for themselves (i.e. “confirm”) the Christian faith they’ve been brought up in.  All confirmands are asked to be honest, real and open minded.  No one is required to be confirmed at the end of the program if they do not want to or are not ready yet..

Teen Mission Trips

Every year our teens do a mission trip alternating between local and out of state or even country.  They raise the funds for their trips and often find it life changing.  They have been to Mexico, Louisiana (after hurricane Katrina), New Jersey (after hurricane Sandy), Appalachia and several local missions in Worcester MA.

I'd like to help

Teen Discipleship Groups

After their Confirmation our teens need a place to continue to explore their faith. A Discipleship group provides a safe space to question and dig deeper.
