Children and Youth are important and valued members of our community at Northwest Barrie United Church!
Each Sunday morning, children and youth participate in the service for the first part of the service. After the children’s time with Rev. Phil, they are invited to take part in our Sunday school program, specifically geared to each age group.
Our Nursery is a welcome place for infants and children under 4 years of age. The Nursery volunteers are adults and youth who help supervise, and parents are welcome to stay if they wish.
The Youth Group is a meaningful gathering for youth in grades 6 – 12.
Our Youth Group is open to youth in grades six up to grade twelve. We meet at least three times a month for fun activities that include seasonal themed parties at the church, bowling nights, movie nights, outdoor activities, and Gym Night at a nearby school.
Outreach is a part big of NWBUC Youth Group. We encourage youth to get involved in the community by providing volunteering opportunities within the community. The Youth Group gets involved with church events such as at dinners, Sunday School and nursery and any other area of interest.
Any youth is always welcome at our youth events whether they attend our church or not. It is a great opportunity to meet new friends and participate in fun, exciting activities in a positive and inclusive environment.
For more information please contact Sharon Foulkes at youth@nwbuc.ca or call the church office.
