Youth

Youth Ministry

At Sharon Presbyterian Church, all youth will know God, grow in Christ, love and accept one another as we lead through the Holy Spirit.

Youth Ministry

As youth and adults, we respond to God's call through the Holy Spirit

to call, encourage, and support young people and their families to be disciples of Jesus Christ, to be connected to and supportive of each other, the whole church, the community, and the world, so that our lives proclaim with joy that Jesus Christ is Lord!

Youth Group

Our youth group meets during the school year on Sunday evenings. Youth group intentionally brings young people together in a life of faith, action, and community. The nurturing environment provides them with a safe place to be challenged and encouraged to ask questions about their faith. In our youth group we address the spiritual, emotional, and social needs that are unique to young people. Through worship, Bible study, service, fellowship, and play, we explore our faith and equip our young people with the tools and support needed to grow as Christians. Opportunities offered in such a supportive and accepting community may enable our youth to renew or deepen their relationships with God, their faith, and commitment to Jesus Christ.

The Purpose of Youth Group is:

1.

to intentionally create a safe, welcoming, inviting, inclusive environment for young people to feel comfortable talking about their faith,

3.

to challenge young people to grow in their faith by providing opportunities to share with one another,

4.

to deepen relationships within the group and with God by participating in a Christ-centered community.

Confirmation

The teen years are an age when young people begin to think more seriously about what they simply accepted as children. In the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), teens are invited to affirm their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and become full members of the church. To facilitate the process of growing toward a personally held faith, we provide confirmation classes for youth in the eighth grade and older. These classes typically follow the school year.


Youth who participate in the confirmation class will be matched with a Covenant Partner. This person will guide the confirmation journey, particularly as a sponsor and mentor for the young people. A Covenant Partner is a church officer, a teacher, or other church leader (other than one’s own parent), who has a genuine interest in being a companion of a confirmand during this important part of their faith journey. At the end of the process, the confirmand, Covenant Partner, and church staff member will meet to discern whether or not the young person is ready to proclaim their faith and become a full member of the church.
