Westminster provides structured youth fellowship for children and young adults from second grade through high school. As Westminster has an active Sunday School program, the "youth groups" are set up to help the youth of Westminster and their friends learn how the Lord works in their lives on a daily basis and how they can be a powerful voice for their Lord.

Our programs meet weekly from September to May. We follow the public school schedule in terms of vacations and holiday weekends. Each meeting is led by the Youth Director and at least one assistant. There is no cost for our programs but we do ask that you set an example for your child and occasionally volunteer with a servant's heart.
