Youth Group @SSPC

Our youth group meets every Sunday at 12:30 p.m. to carry out important and fulfilling mission work in our community. We fellowship together with mission projects, visit other churches and denominations to understand the world. We lead worship on Youth Sundays and volunteer as Acolytes during Sunday worship. Most importantly, we build each other up by celebrating our similarities and differences.

Youth Sunday School and Confirmation are ongoing through the school year. For more information please contact us at [email protected].

Maker's Masterpieces

Join us at The Maker’s Masterpieces on Sundays at 10:15 a.m., where creativity knows no bounds! Our art class for children and youth of all ages is a blast! We explore a new biblical theme — painting, sculpting, drawing, and more — every week! And guess what? We’ll even have our own art gallery to showcase all the incredible creations! Get ready to be amazed by what God is doing through these artists! 🎨🌍

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus,
so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10

SUNDAYS at 12:30

Sixth through 12th graders gather on Sunday at 12:30 to participate in mission projects, such as helping with Samaritan House, Methodist Justice Ministry, Halloween Boxes and Valentine Boxes to our Collegians and Military Personnel, Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Services Christmas gifts, and assisting with Trunk or Treat, Christmas on the Hill, and especially Vacation Bible School in the Summer.

But that’s not all! We have fun, go out to eat, have discussions, cook together, share Thanksgiving meals, and much, much more. The youth have a focus on Learning About Other Cultures in Visiting Churches and Other Religious Institutions. We want to know more without judgement on other ways of worship. This sparks great conversations and understanding in the world.

Our Summer focus is primarily putting on a fabulous Vacation Bible School in June and going somewhere within the USA for a Week-Long Mission Trip in July. You don’t want to miss out on those opportunities to grow and care and share with other children in Fort Worth, and other children and churches in the United States

MISSION TRIP

Our youth mission trip has been an anchor in our program for 17 years. Our youth group throw darts into a USA map and pick the locations to seek out work each January. Typically, the youth offer construction projects along with Vacation Bible School around the USA.

Some of our past mission trips have included helping with helping the Presbyterian Children’s Home and Services. In 2022 we traveled to Sioux Falls, South Dakota and taugh VBS and fixing up the church propoery; assisting Methodist Justice Ministry locally in 2020 – 2021 to build playground equipment for abused children. Journeyed to Glenwood Springs, Colorado, for a 5 church VBS and several cool construction projects in 2019. Augusta, Georgia, at Belle Terrace Presbyterian Church, was the site of our largest VBS that we’ve had on a Mission Trip 2018. Over 80 kids attended and it was supervised heavily by the adults in their church, their youth and our youth! What a trip along with construction projects at the church. Great trip!

Other sites included: St. Paul, Minnesota in 2017; Western South Dakota at Pioneer Camp and Whitewood Presbyterian Church in 2016; then Kayenta, Arizona, along with Oljeto, UT, on the Navajo Reservation in 2015; Olathe and Kansas City, 2014; Mountains of Colorado 2013; Florida Panhandle 2012; Chicago’s Southside 2011; Kentucky’s Appalachian countryside 2010; South Carolina’s beaches 2009; Arkansas’ Mountains in 2008; Nebraska in 2007; and New Mexico in 2006. Our memories are full, but we hope to keep re-filling them with new experiences
