Our middle school youth group provides teens with a safe and sacred space to ask questions, talk about “real and challenging” topics, do important and impactful hands-on Mission and Outreach work supporting our local and international partners, bond with each other through fun and fellowship events, and just “be with each other”. We are a great combination of fun, fellowship, Mission, Outreach, discussion, adventure, and that very needed space to unplug and just be in each other’s presence, to catch up, and to talk. The highlights of our year are the 30 Hour Famine, the Butternut Ski Trip, Youth Sunday, SouperBowl Sunday, and our Mission trip to Union Beach, NJ to assist in rebuilding that community from SuperStorm Sandy.

Our senior high school group provides a bit of quiet from the typical High School storm. When the combined pressures of academic achievement, sports and social acceptance flare up, it is nice to have a place to find sanctuary. HSYG meets in our newly renovated Tate Youth Barn, which is a safe and sacred space for our teens to talk about anything and everything. In addition to fellowship and discussion, we spend a good deal of time in Mission and Outreach, because that is what we love to do! The highlights of the year have been the 30 Hour Famine, laser tag, countless Mission projects (preparing and serving meals at New Covenant House Food Pantry, Toys for Tots, Feed My Starving Children, Grocery Cart Wars, and more), the Butternut Ski Retreat, and our annual mission trips.
