Youth Ministry
Woodgreen Presbyterian Church is pleased to offer a special ministry to youth.
Who?
Our ministry is focused on youth in grades 7-12. Youth from the community or those who may not have a church are welcome.
What?
Our ministry is structured for youth to build relationships as they study, serve and have fun together.
Study
Junior Youth (grades 7-9) are studying the book of Jonah using the Bible as their text. As these youth are learning Bible study techniques, they are learning from Jonah’s experiences of how God patiently directs and corrects his people.
Senior Youth (grades 10-12) are considering and discussing the truth about Jesus to assist these youth as they face the challenges of tolerance and pluralism. Pastor Don leads discussions based on the DVD series True U 3 –Who is Jesus?
Serve
Service opportunities such as participation in work/cleanup days or organizing contributions for charities are planned for our youth to serve the Woodgreen congregation and our community.
Have Fun
Fun events such as bowling, movie or gym nights, and laser tag are planned to provide opportunities for our youth to enjoy time together.
When and Where?
The 2022-2023 schedule for youth meetings (September 2022 through May 2023) follows. All youth meetings take place at the church.

Why?
We believe youth are very special to God. After all, God tells us in His Word that the children of believers are “holy.” How gracious is our God, “showing faithful love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commands.” (Exodus 20:6) However, this is not only a blessing but also a call to faith and faithfulness for those covenant children, for their parents and the church. Thus, we minister to our youth to nurture their faith, and we also seek to share the hope of life and salvation in Jesus Christ with those young people who have never heard.
