Youth

Community UCC is very proud of its youth program.  We are unique because we offer youth groups that serve pre-school through college.  This is accomplished by a team that is made up of our youth director, the youth ministry board, youth advisors, a supportive congregation, parents, and youth, themselves. 

Community UCC offers a full range of opportunities for young people to gather in fun and fellowship. Community UCC youth have also participated in local, state and national activities such as Western Association meetings, The National Youth Event, General Synod and Summer Work Camp.
