Young people are both the future of our church and an integral part of our present. That’s why we invite them into our common life with a focus on meaningful experiences: genuine moments of faith, service, and belonging.

Confirmation Class, generally 7th-9th grades, is where they explore faith on their own terms and can wrestle with hard questions. Young people also can serve on committees, help lead worship, and pitch in on additional service opportunities throughout the year.

For high school youth, one anchoring experience is our annual mission trip with the Appalachia Service Project. Every summer, thousands of volunteers have worked with ASP to repair homes and build hope across Central Appalachia. In making homes warmer, safer, and drier for families in need, ASP uses the hands of young people while touching their hearts. Like thousands of others, PCWS youth return with a wider perspective of God’s world and a love for mission and service.

There’s a place at the table for everyone of every age at PCWS.
