Beacon Heights Youth

middle school youth

The Middle School program includes a weekly Sunday school class, a monthly activity focusing on service, group-building, fun or spirituality, and a yearly weekend retreat. Each year the Middle School youth lead worship for "Middle School Youth Sunday" and every third year go on a week-long "Heritage Tour" visiting Church of the Brethren historical sites in the eastern United States. Another core part of the Middle School program is matching each youth with an adult mentor from the congregation for the purpose of fostering intentional, inter-generational relationships. The program involves the youth, his/her parents, and a mentor in providing support, encouragement, and opportunities for spiritual growth during these adolescent years.

Each year the High School youth coordinate and lead worship for "High School Youth Sunday" and every four years we go on a week-long work camp/service trip to learn from and work with those in extreme poverty. The High School youth also participate in district and denominational activities including National Youth Conference and Christian Citizenship Seminar.
