Youth Group
at DCPC
Every week, we explore our faith together through games, devotions, and dinner. Come join us!
Our goal every Sunday is for students to connect with God, their leaders, and their peers as they experience Christian community. Our focus is relationships as we explore what worshipping God, following Christ, and doing good look like in our every day lives at school, on the playing field, with our friends, in our homes, and anywhere else we go. We do this through sharing a meal together, playing games, Bible study, discussion, and sharing about our lives.

Youth Music
In Youth Music, we make music to the glory of God through singing, steel pans, and other instruments. We encourage members to play their own instruments, fostering creativity and growth in a fun environment. Youth Music meets most Sundays before Youth Group (4:30-5:30 pm) in the sanctuary. Contact David Brinson or Sarah Lynch to find out more.

Dinner
​​We’re big believers in the power of food to bring people together and that’s why we start every Youth Group with dinner! Our staff chef and dinner volunteers prepare and serve a delicious nut-free meal with options for every dietary restriction.

Arriving
Parking for parents dropping off youth is available along Concord Rd. and in the parking lot behind the Congregation House. If it’s your first time joining us, please come in the entrance off of Concord Rd. where someone from our Welcome Team will be there to greet you. If you haven’t yet filled out this year’s required forms, you can do that there.​
​
Leaving
Parents who are picking up youth are encouraged to meet them at the Congregation House porch at 7 pm so we can ensure a safe hand-over. Our leaders are required to stay on site until all youth are picked up, so we always appreciate it when they are picked up on time.
Leadership
DCPC Youth is only possible through an active and engaged team of volunteer leaders. Our team of Small Group Leaders are there to connect with youth and help them to grow an authentic faith while our Youth Ministry Committee works hard to make those events possible.
