YOUTH MINISTRY
at Grace Presbyterian Church
Grades 3, 4, and 5
Elementary school is full of energy and questions. Children are beginning to explore who they are and how faith fits into their everyday lives. The road through grades 3, 4, and 5 may be full of curiosity and change—but it doesn’t have to be confusing. Grace 345 youth are surrounded by a community that helps them discover God’s love in fun and meaningful ways. Grace 345 meets on Wednesday nights from 4:30 pm – 6:00pm.
Middle School Students
We get it. Middle school can be awkward. Students are growing up fast and need a place where they can start to learn how God sees them. The road through middle school may be bumpy—but it doesn’t have to be lonely. On Tuesday Nights from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm, youth are surrounded by a community helping them on the journey to discover a faith of their own.
High School Students -
The pivotal season of high school goes by fast. While the goal is often to survive these years, Grace Students is here to help students make the most of them. Youth Group on Tuesday nights from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm is designed for high school students curious about faith and eager to discover how a relationship with Jesus could change their lives, their schools, and our community.
Confirmation Class at Grace
Confirmation is a special time in a young person’s faith journey when students explore what it means to be a follower of Jesus and a member of the church. Through lessons, discussion, service, and prayer, students learn about the Bible, Presbyterian beliefs, and the practices of Christian living. At the end of the class, participants have the opportunity to publicly affirm their faith and become full members of the church family. If you are interested in joining the 2025-2026 Confirmation class, reach out to either Joel Bielefeldt or Rev. Cassie Heintz
Tuesday Night Youth Group & Wednesday Night Grace345
We start the night with some time to hang out, play games, and make new friends. After hang time, we gather for worship and to hear practical teaching that students can apply to their daily lives. After that, students get to circle up with their small groups. Youth Group and Grace 345 small groups are led by adults committed to equipping students to successfully navigate middle school and high school and develop their faith. We are always glad to welcome new friends – come see what we are all about!
