Youth

Youth Update!

Jill Thompson has been leading our "youthlings" since the fall of 2007. Jill recently graduated from Rocky Mountain College with a focus in Child and Youth Care. Along with her education, Jill brings lots of experience to the youth group and is always coming up with fun events and trips. When she is not hanging out with her "youthlings" you can find her eating chocolate and doing yoga.

Who we are...
A vibrant group of up to 30 youth aged 12-18!
*additional youth leaders always welcome*

What we do...

Sunday Morning: Reading scripture, small group discussions, snacks and more!
Youth Bible Study: Opportunities for youth to meet once a month for a unique Bible study session...also with snacks!
Youth Events: the youth meet up to three times a month and participate in various events from picnics to scavenger hunts to Calaway Park and youth sleepovers (even trips to Canmore!)...with snacks!
Outreach Events: the youth have volunteered at various locations across Calgary including EXIT youth shelter and the Mustard Seed. The youth have also travelled to Churchill, MB and Montreal, QC on short term mission trips.
