Youth Programming

Youth at Heritage are part of the life of the congregation, not separate from it. We want middle- and high-school youth to have space to build friendships, explore what matters to them, ask honest questions, and grow into their own values and identities.

Youth opportunities may include discussion, service, social gatherings, worship participation, leadership, retreats, and other shared experiences.

What Youth Can Expect

Depending on the season and the group, youth may have opportunities to:

• build strong friendships and community;
• explore values, spirituality, ethics, and current issues;
• take part in service and justice work;
• help shape worship and congregational life;
• develop leadership skills;
• participate in retreats, camps, and special events;
• engage in age-appropriate Our Whole Lives programming.

Youth Belong Here

Youth are welcome to participate in the wider life of Heritage — in worship, music, service, social justice, and leadership — as well as in programs created especially for them.
