Youth Ministry
No matter who you are, no matter where you are on your journey, you are welcome here!
Here at RPC we do our best to provide a safe place where all youth feel loved and at home as we walk alongside one another on the journey of faith and share God's love with the world.
Middle School Connection
All 6th-8th graders are welcome at RPC's Middle School Connection!
We meet twice a month, typically every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month, from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m., in our Youth Rooms. We spend our time catching up, playing games, and deepening our spiritual lives. We hope your youth can join us as we are reminded again and again that we are not alone. We are connected in so many ways to one another and our loving God!
If you have any questions, or if you'd like to sign up for the parent email list, please contact Anne Halloin. For up-to-date meeting information, please visit Ongoing Events.
High School Youth Group
All 9th-12th graders are welcome at RPC's High School Youth Group!
We gather at least twice a month to build community and faith through fellowship, prayer, discussions, and service! Meetings are held on Sundays from 6:00-7:00 p.m. in our Youth Rooms.
If you have any questions, or if you'd like to sign up for the parent email list, please contact Anne Halloin. For up-to-date meeting information, please visit Ongoing Events.
Confirmation
How can science fit with what is taught in church? What is the bible all about? If God is so good… why do bad things happen? What makes Christianity different?
Each year the confirmation class explores these questions and many more as together we explore the bible story and the life of faith. Not every ninth grader may be asking these questions or eager to take on extra work as high school begins. Yet Confirmation class is a unique opportunity to explore the life of faith at this important point in your own life journey.
Starting in September, each class meets throughout the year and is active in many aspects of the church, including the traditional duty as Sunday crucifer.
If you are a ninth grader, or if have a child who is in ninth grade, please contact Rev. Love with any questions you may have. You can find registration information for the class and other Confirmation resources on the Confirmation page of the church website.

Youth & Chancel Choir
All high school students (9th grade and above) and adults are invited to join the Chancel Choir!
The usual schedule is a Sundays-only commitment: warm-up at 9:15 a.m., sing in the 10:00 a.m. service, then rehearsal from 11:15 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Rehearsals closer to Christmas and Easter run until 12:45 or 1:00 p.m. Please let Jason Charneski know if you're interested, even if for a shorter span of time, or if you have any questions.
Youth leadership opportunities
There are a variety of ways our youth can share their time and gifts with the church!
All youth are invited to read scripture, serve as ushers, or share any musical gifts with us during Sunday worship. Our high school youth are also welcome to help lead Sunday School or our monthly Table gatherings. And their voices are always welcome on any of our church's committees!
If you are interested in serving the church through any of these roles, or if you think of another way you wish to serve, please contact Anne Halloin.
