COTC youth
Ministry

Youth Group

Youth Group meets from September to May on Sundays following the 11 am service on the first and third Sundays. We desire for our COTC youth to be formed in the way of Jesus through reading and studying God’s word, fellowship, and serving.

We want youth to encounter Jesus, become more like him, and develop and deepen their spiritual friendships.

Gospel Reading Group

This group meets on second and fourth Sundays during the 11 am service. Youth who attend will “follow the cross” with The Garden. Youth will study Sunday's Gospel reading together, with space for questions, learning, and curiosity.

Catechism Cohort

(7th to 9th graders)
This class is designed to be a basic yet comprehensive introduction to the Christian faith. It’s taught in partnership with lay and clergy people. During year one of the two-year cycle, we will cover topics including The Gospel, The Bible, and the Creeds.  Year two consists of The Lord's Prayer, Ten Commandments, and the Sacraments. The class is a commitment of 30 classes (September - May for two years), and we ask that participants commit to attending as many as possible to experience the full scope and depth of the class.  At the end of the two years, confirmation will be an option for students who attend 25+ classes.
