Last year, the four Waterloo United Churches gathered at Emmanuel United to discuss ways of collaborating and working together. Thanks to some very dedicated individuals, a group for youth in Grades 7 – 12 has started and welcomes youth from the four Waterloo United Churches and beyond to join them! Leaders Bethany McMullen and Rebecca Whiting extend a warm welcome to all youth who wish to attend. We meet
every other Wednesday night from 7-8:30pm rotating between churches.
Youth ages 12 and up meet for activities, discussions, and more relating to our faith and the world around us. We discuss a variety of topics that connect our day-to-day lives with God. We also explore topics relating to world events, social justice, and issues that are relevant to today’s youth. Friends are always welcome!
Come as you are! We strive to create a brave space for all of you by being an explicitly 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusive and neurodiverse accepting group! We also recognize that youth group can be intimidating for Indigenous and racialized youth, and we are committed to building a welcoming and inclusive group.
YOU ARE LOVED. YOU MATTER TO US. EVERYONE IS WELCOME.
Meetings this spring – March 5, April 2, April 16, April 30, May 14, May 28, June 11.
