High School
Our Student Ministry Team's Values:
Love: Experiencing and sharing the radically inclusive love of God.
Belong: Creating space to discover and be who God created you to be.
Grow: Equipping students with tools for a lifetime of faith exploration.
Do: Inspiring a commitment to love, justice, and service in the world.
We are an inclusive community where students of all abilities can fully participate, find a sense of belonging, and be part of something meaningful. We also partner with families, offering connection and support as faith continues to grow at home and in community.
Programs
High School Youth Group
Wednesday Nights Starting September 16
7:30–9:00 p.m. | in the Loft
Come for big fun, bold music, goofy skits, and real conversations. Then stay for the radically inclusive love of God, a caring community, and a space to explore faith, ask big questions, and seek justice.
Bring your whole self. Bring a friend. There's a space for you here, so come ready to jump in. See you on the third floor!
*Please note: We will not meet on October 14 (MEA) or November 25 (Turkey Bowl).
9th Grade Confirmation
Wednesday Nights | 6:30–8:00 p.m. | in the Sanctuary
Register Here!
Ninth grade is a year of tremendous growth, change, and new opportunities. At WCC, we believe it's also the perfect time to explore and deepen your faith. Confirmation is a yearlong journey of community, service, learning, and spiritual growth designed to help students build a faith uniquely their own.
Led by Rev. Danielle Jones and guest speakers, weekly Wednesday evening gatherings explore the foundations of the Christian faith through engaging discussions, interactive learning, and meaningful experiences. Students will also connect with WCC's High School Ministry, participate in service opportunities, attend a fall retreat, complete a final faith project, and build lasting friendships along the way.
Community Meal
Wednesdays | 5:15 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. | Mithun Hall
$6/children & $7/adults | Cash, check or Venmo
Join us every Wednesday for dinner before evening programming, whether you're coming for classes, choir, or just to hang out with your people. Everyone's got a seat at the table.
High School Sunday Sessions
October 25, November 1, 15, 22
9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. | in the Loft
Ready to explore your faith on a deeper level? Sunday Sessions are multi-week discussion groups designed to dig into big topics, bringing together background and context, Scripture, and your questions, so each session builds naturally on the last.
Our first series, The Life and Times of Jesus, begins this October. We'll go past the surface to explore who Jesus was, the world he lived in, and what his life and teachings mean for us today.
Bring your questions, your curiosity, and your perspective. Let’s dig deeper together.
