Youth
Confirmation & Faith 101
We are so excited to announce that Confirmation and Faith 101 classes have begun!
Confirmation class, led by Rev. Doni Driemeier-Showers and assisted by JoAnn Moody and Pastor Carol, is hosted for youth in 8th grade and up at 11:30 am on the first and third Sundays of the month.
Faith 101 class, led by Tara Lowry and assisted by Linda Lowry, is also being held at 11:30 am on the third Sunday of the month for youth ages 11 and up. Classes are 1 hour in length and snacks are provided. Youth that are not participating in Confirmation are welcome to join Linda and Tara Lowry at 11:30 am on the first Sunday of the month to enjoy fun cartoons that teach important Bible lessons.
Sunday School has now been divided into two age groups. Youth from kindergarten to 7th grade are invited to come to Sunday School after the children’s message on the first and third Sunday of the month. Our 8th grade and high school youth are encouraged to come and experience the full worship service on the first Sunday of the month, but will have Sunday School class on the third Sunday of the month.
Christmas Pageant Casting Call!
Mark your calendars to join us on December 21st during worship for the Christmas Pageant.
Rehearsals will be held on Sundays during the church service. All youth from Pre-K to Senior High are encouraged to participate. Please reach out to Tara Lowry at taralowry96@gmail.com if interested.
A major part of Ivy Chapel’s mission statement is to provide a welcoming and caring environment for children, youth and adults. We are very supportive of our youth, recognizing that they are truly the future of our church.
We are currently looking for a Youth Ministry coordinator to help us continue to fulfill our mission to our youth, and to our community. Learn more about the position here.
Our church’s culture is built around having children as important participants in the worship experience, serving as acolytes, lay liturgists, providing special music and writing and leading our annual Youth Sunday worship service.
Our youth also love to help others. We coordinate several service activities throughout the year. This year they have participated in a Christmas Choral offering with adult members of the congregation, painted a commemorative plate for our Pastor’s retirement, and just recently they led a Souper Bowl Drive to collect donations for a local food pantry.
And while some of our service and fellowship activities are group-specific, much of what we do involves all youth. Our kids love to do things together. It’s a great learning experience for all – and often involves the entire congregation.
For more information about our youth activities, you can email us at ivychapelucc@ivychapel.org or leave a message at (314) 434-4991.
