Kirk Youth Ministry
Here at the Kirk, we believe in building spaces of belonging and trust as we grow in our faith together. Guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ, we support youth as they openly share the joys and struggles of their lives and encourage them as they wrestle with and grow in their faith as theymake it their own. We work hard to provide a safe place for youth to celebrate the gifts God has given them and encouraging them to embark on a path of service and leadership with the Kirk and the broader community.
Youth Group
Sunday Nights, 5:15-7:15 PM
During the school year, our middle school and high school groups gather on Sunday evenings from 5:15-7:15 for intentional time together. We share a meal together and have space to grow in our understandings of faith, in our approach to service and mission in the world, and in our ability to have fun together. It’s a great place to grow with people your age and follow Jesus together!

Confirmation is a special time when youth have the opportunity to carefully reflect on and explore their faith and relationship with God. The confirmation year is one of discovery and experience. It is a chance to ask and attempt to answer questions of faith in a relaxed, fun, and safe environment with others who are on the same journey.
For more information or to sign up for next year, please contact Matt Cooper or call the church office, 919-467-4944.
