Community Life for Youth and Young Adult

We affirm that our youth and young adults are a vital part of our Christian community.

Youth

Vision Statement:

As junior and senior youth at FMC, we strive to be good examples for the world around us by following Jesus' teachings and reaching out to the community. Through these actions, we endeavour to grow in our faith as Mennonite youth and to support this growth in each other.

In addition to Sunday School classes, we offer the following opportunities:

Junior Youth

Students in Grades 7-9 meet monthly for a 'hangout night', organized by our youth sponsors. A Jr. and Sr. Youth event is held jointly once a month for larger activities, organized by the Youth Council.

Senior Youth

Students in Grades 10-12 meet monthly for a 'hangout night', organized by our youth sponsors. A Jr. and Sr. Youth event is held jointly once a month for larger activities, organized by the Youth Council.

Youth Council

The Youth Council is made up of Jr. and Sr. high students, the Youth Ministries Coordinator, Youth Sponsors and a parent representative. They meet 2-3 times per year (or as needed) to set the youth calendar of activities, discuss hangout night options, and plan the larger joint youth group activities.

Mentoring

This is an opportunity for youth in Grades 7-12 to be matched with an adult mentor from within the congregation.

College and Careers

If you are too old for high school, too young for The Socialites (40+), and pre-kids, this is the group for you. A pizza lunch is hosted every fall by the Deacons as a way to connect young adults new to our congregation with those who have been attending.  Other activities are planned by the group.
