Annual Youth Ministry Events
Chili Cook-Off
Chili Cook-off is one of our annual fundraisers for our youth summer conference and mission trips! Members are invited to bring their homemade chili to enter in one of several categories that the youth choose. Winners receive a trophy and bragging rights for the next year!
The Youth Chili Cook-off is a part of our Community Life Trunk or Treat event for children and families. Families could purchase a bowl and spoon to try out the different chilis and vote for the
Best Chili at Second with their dollars. Youth judges then taste and choose the other 4 winning categories.
The Chili Categories are:
Crowd Favorite Chili
Unicorn Award
Hot Ones Award
Meat Lovers Award
Goldilocks Award
Youth Sunday
Our youth are an important part of our congregation and participate in worship year-round. We love when our children or youth read the scripture, play special music, or are part of our usher team. But Youth Sunday is a special Sunday when our 6th through 12th graders put together and lead ALL the parts of the worship service! The youth work together at Youth Fellowship and Wednesday evening gatherings to choose the hymns and choose or write all the parts of the service including prayers, invitations, and responsive readings. Our seniors offer our message of the day in their Senior Reflections.
Summer Camps & Mission
In the summer youth go to summer camps and conferences and do mission projects to grow in faith and give back to our community.
