6th - 8th Graders are introduced to important themes of the Old and New Testament. Our youth are encouraged to express their questions and pursue a search into the meaning of scripture and its application to their lives today. Through this familiarization with the Bible, this background knowledge is helpful during Confirmation in the 9th grade. Teachers are Becky Hergatt and Joanne Cheng.
The themes planned for this year include:
God Saves His People
God is Faithful: Covenants
 What Does God Want From Us?
 God Calls
 People Think about God and Worship
 God's People Have Leaders
 God's People Have Hope
 Can't We All Just Get Along?


Confirmation class for 9th Graderswill be exploring the Bible through Crossings: God’s Journey with Us. Crossings studies eight significant themes of the Bible for its foundation. There are 30 sessions (15 on the Hebrew Scripture and 15 on the New Testament) that will be complied into 23 sessions.      
Confirmands are expected to attend 20 out of 23 classes as well as completing all reading or work assigned weekly. They must also perform 20 hours of community/volunteer service and attend 3 “extra/special” services.
Confirmation leaders are: April Luedy, Ellen Eckert, Pastor David Hartzfeld, Pastor Eric Britcher.
 
 
10th – 12th Graderswill be participating in The Way I’m Wired, Louie Giglio: The Heart of Passion and Videos That Teachcurriculum with discussion follow-up classes to help them with their faith journey. Teachers are Jennifer Tetrick and Dr. Mark Redding.
All Youth take part in certain service projects such as packing and delivering Thanksgiving baskets, Giving Tree deliveries, and will now be attending the 10:30 worship service together.
 
All Sunday School Classes for the Youth will be 9:15 – 10:15 am.
