Middle and High School

Youth Group for Middle and High Schoolers meet EACH Sunday from 6:00 – 7:30.  Our group might be involved in rowdy, run-around-games, a Bible Study or Bible activity or a service project, but it is always a good time and great fellowship!  Friends are encouraged!

Teen Leadership:   Teens are encouraged to give back to others and strengthen leadership skills through service to others.  Teens are encouraged to volunteer at our monthly Kids Night Out – Parents Night Off monthly events, serve as teen leaders during our Vacation Bible School, volunteer at our monthly Tuesday Dinner at the Pres, our community outreach program and many other opportunities throughout the year.

Teen Lock In:  Usually held in January on the Friday night of Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend, it’s lots of games, fun and running around!  From all group games such as Clued In, Where’s Waldo, Scavenger Hunts, Grog, to make your own pizzas or taco bar,  to 9 Square in the Air, but no 1st UPC Lock In would be complete without a game of Hogan’s Heroes (you have to be here to believe it!)  What a great night.  1st UPC kids bring a friend to double the fun of the night!

Mission Trips:  Each summer, middle and high schoolers and their leaders spend a week in age appropriate service to others.  Fundraisers are held during the winter to help offset expenses.  Great fellowship, hard work, and new understandings emerge!
