UCC Manhattan

 The middle school youth ministry is for 7^th & 8^th graders.  Our regular weekly programming is listed below.  We also do a number of special events, including summer camps, special fun days just for middle school students, and weekend retreats throughout the year.  Details on special events will be posted regularly.

Our weekly youth group meetings are from 6-8 p.m. in the Family Life Center and middle school room (room 302).  Enjoy fun activities and a lesson designed to challenge you to think about your faith.  This is a great place to get involved in the youth ministry, and friends are always welcome.

Sunday morning is the time we choose to take things a little deeper.  At 11:15 a.m. we meet in the middle school room to study the Bible.  Sometimes we go through a lesson series, and other times we simply discuss certain passages of the Bible.  Either way, the point is to help you understand the Word a little better.

At the core of the youth ministry we seek to bring students into deeper relationships with one another and with Jesus -- and we feel the best way to do that is through discipleship groups.  D-groups are small groups of students of similar age and gender who meet weekly for study, prayer, accountability, and fellowship.  Leaders of the d-groups are college students or adult leaders who are willing to invest in the lives of the students.  We have two middle school d-groups -- middle school boys and middle school girls.  If you are interested in joining one of these groups contact Josh.
