Youth Group faqs

Who is invited?

All 5th-12th grade students— whether connected with our church or from the surrounding community. We are LGBTQ+ welcoming and affirming, committed to anti-racism, and work to create a brave space for real conversations.

Where?

Our regular gatherings happen at the church, Community Presbyterian Church of Ben Avon, 7501 Church Avenue in Ben Avon. We also hold events in the surrounding North Boroughs and beyond. We are a part of the 319+ group of churches, and meet monthly at surrounding areas.

What do we do?

Youth Group: During our regular gatherings, we have time to hang out, do an activity or play games, and learn from Scripture in ways that are engaging and relevant.

Mission: We also do mission activities, such as gathering care packages for our college youth, serving dinner at the men’s shelter, and pitching in to support the food pantry.

Events: We believe fun, social gatherings are part of building our church community. So look out for trips to Skyzone, bowling or to a local escape room.

Retreats: We hold retreats as a way to connect more deeply with God and one another. Look out for opportunities for ski retreats, camps, and mud weekend.

Who leads these events?

Activities are lead by our Director of Faith Formation, Cassie, and volunteers from the church. We follow strict Safe Church guidelines to ensure a safe environment for our youth.

can Parents help?

Yes! There are different ways you can help:

• Volunteer to help lead an activity or help chaperone.

  • Sometimes we need people to be present -- you don't have to be up front running things.

• Provide meals or snacks.

• Provide transportation.

• Share your input and ideas!
