Idlewild’s Youth Ministry is fun. Our young folks strive to make all feel at home in our open-minded and welcoming community. We are anchored in our Christ-centered faith as we encourage questions and doubts in a relatable way. We trust that God accepts us wherever we are on our faith journeys as we explore together what it looks like to reflect our Creator’s love and justice in our world.
Mission: Idlewild Presbyterian Church’s ministry with youth and their families invites, includes, and celebrates all who are seeking an open-minded community, so that, through the Spirit, they grow to trust that they belong and are created in the image of God, inspiring them to reflect God’s unconditional love and justice in Jesus Christ.
6th-8th graders will meet together in Room 306 to play games, work on service projects, and examine a scripture of the week. 9th-12th graders can join the Middle School class in room 306, volunteer with Children’s Sunday School, or head to Room 321 for a coffee and hang out with Jeanene.
Sunday nights are for the Youth Group. We start off with dinner from 6:00- 6:30 PM. From 6:30-7:30, our middle and high schoolers break into groups to play games, do activities, check in with each other and have group conversations around faith and practice. Sometimes we jump in the church van for an off-campus trip for fun or community service.
We’ll head to Pinecrest to join with other Presbyterian youth from across the mid-south for a time of connection and fellowship.
Stay tuned for more information!
Come spend some time in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina for a gathering of youth from around the country.
We will be welcoming the confirmation next spring. This will be a moment to explore our faith together. Confirmation is suggested for 8th graders and is open to grades 8-11th. The commitment includes:
Children’s Sunday School: Be a host for large group gatherings. Lead in energizers, dance, songs, skits, and memory verses.
Worship & Wonder: Be a helper for our worship service for littles ages 3-5.
Nursery: Hold some babies and show some love during worship or Sunday school.
Serve Up a Party: Help lead monthly Friday Night Kid Parties at the church while parents go out for fellowship or stay in for a time of formation at the church.
More volunteer opportunities can be found on the Outreach page.
