The Plymouth Youth Church

The Youth Church operates every Sunday for both the 8:30 and 11:00 am services. Young people of all ages are welcome, from the toddler to the teenager. The superintendent, Catherine Murray, believes wholeheartedly in the bible verse “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 And she is a witness to its truth both with her own children and others that she has witnessed grow to maturity from the church’s Sunday School program.

Each level features its own team of instructors. Bible-based teaching materials are utilized according to age and maturity. Every Sunday, the young people engage in their lessons and devotional time is included as well. Toddlers and Elementary age children frequently demonstrate their learnings through a Make-and-Take project. Currently, the Youth Church is meeting in the Cyprian Center just across the parking lot from the church but very soon we will return to the renovated lower level of the church where we will resume weekly praise devotionals in the new chapel.

The youngsters also fellowship with their same age peers. The high school students recently attended a play at the Fox Theatre and the middle schoolers take monthly after-church excursions for fun and food. The younger children have spent time bowling and camping.

The newest feature of the Youth Church has been Youth Sunday. Fifth Sundays have been the occasion for the youth to conduct the 8:30 and 11:00 am services. From the Call To Worship to the Invitation to Christian Discipleship, the young people handle every aspect of the service including the message. These services have been opportunities for our youngsters to serve but they are also special spirit-filled times of worship for the entire congregation. “And a little child shall lead them.” Isaiah 11:7b

Each year during Easter and Christmas the Youth Church presents a program before the congregation. These programs have included speaking parts, dance, playing of instruments and singing. Families and Friends gather each year to experience the young people adding their special perspective to the celebration of these special liturgical events. Children of all ages are welcome at Youth Church; neither the young people nor their parents or guardians have to be members for the children to participate. Children who are visiting on a particular Sunday are welcome as well
