Youth Group
The Youth Group, or SYG, is a program for youth in grades 7-12 which is co-sponsored by EWCC and the First Congregational Church. The program is supported by Youth Leaders and a Youth Ministry Team composed of adult members from both churches. These volunteers help with planning, snacks, transportation, and chaperoning.
Youth Group provides a variety of events to promote community service, fellowship, spiritual growth, and recreation. Our purpose is to foster spiritual development and discipleship with Jesus Christ as our guide. We seek to nurture relationships between youth and faithful adults at our Sunday night meetings, retreats, and mission trips. SYG meets each week from September through June. Friends are welcome at all events.
We encourage Youth to participate in the overall life of the church community.
Our teens do valuable ministry assisting with Church school, nursery care, Handbell choir, Senior choir, Compassion Camp, the Woodstock Fair Chicken Barbeque, Christmas on the Hill, and church dinners.
