Our inter-church Youth Group serves high schoolers attending the congregational churches in the greater Valley Shore area. Currently we are made up of kids from Essex, Westbrook, and Old Saybrook.
Our teens typically meet two Sundays a month at the Old Saybrook Congregational Church, from 5:00-6:30pm. Our gatherings are filled with fun games, meaningful activities, deep learning, and hearty discussions (we’ve also been known to have some pretty cool snacks). Our goal is to find ways of showing kindness while living out our faith in practical ways. So, if your teen is looking for a safe place to hang out, meet some other great kids, and find meaning in their spiritual life, we’re the group for them!
Our leadership team is headed by Becky Stambaugh, who also serves as the Christian Education director with the Westbrook Congregational Church. She comes to this role with over 25 years of professional experience working with youth in public schools and in ministry. Rounding out the team are incredible pastors and lay people from our churches who supply additional sets of hands, hearts, and brains!
**Throughout the year, there are also opportunities for service projects, retreats, mission trips and periodic confirmation programming. Please reach out to Becky with any questions at becky@creativeCEsolutions.com.
