Middle School

Youth Group on Wednesdays from 5:30 - 6:30 PM during the school year

Each week our 6th-8th graders come together for a meal, play games with one another and share in God’s word through lessons or small groups. Throughout the year, students are invited to join us on retreats, mission opportunities and other seasonal events.

High School

Youth Group on Wednesdays from 7:30-8:30 PM during the school year

Students in 9th-12th grade meet weekly to share a meal and fellowship, interactive games and Bible Study or small groups. Retreats are available for these students throughout the year as well as mission events, community outreach and seasonal events.

Confirmation

Students in grade 8 and up are able to participate in Confirmation class, which is a unique opportunity to dive into what our faith means to us and how we live it out. There is at least one retreat planned (in the fall) to kick off this experience and is ideal for students who are really wanting to be serious about their faith.

At the end of the class, students will have the opportunity to get baptized if they have not already and to become members of Paoli Presbyterian Church.
