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:

Youth

Students in Grades 7-12 meet twice-monthly for either a 'hangout night', or a larger off-site activity. Hangout nights can be at the church or at the home of one of our youth. Larger activities may happen with other Edmonton Mennonite Church youth groups. Youth Sponsors and the Youth Ministries Coordinator plan events with input from the youth.

Mentoring

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

Young Adults

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.
