Youth Ministry

For more information contact our Pastor of Faith Formation at lvanderleek@westendcrc.ca

Youth is designed for teens in Grades 7-12

Every Sunday morning the Youth Room is open for fun and fellowship – including snacks, drinks and games.
Youth meets after Sunday worship for Scripture and Snacks October thru April.
One Friday of most months we meet for an activity or event such as bowling, laser tag, skating, and more sometimes with separate evenings for our Junior and Senior grades.

Our fall retreat this year is September 12-14 at Strathcona Wilderness Centre and the Spring 2026 retreat is May 29-May 30.

Youth also engages in regular community service with the Mustard Seed, Hope Mission, the Christian Care Centre and other community organizations.

As a church we are also committed to helping our teens use and grow their gifts in at least one of the many ministry areas of the church, including a variety of children’s ministries, music and audiovisual.

PROFESSION OF FAITH

In the spring and fall, those who wish to make public profession of their faith prepare themselves for this event in a special class by talking about and reflecting on the meaning of making a commitment to Jesus Christ and assuming responsibilities in the church family.
