Senior High Ministry

Who We Are

The Summit - Senior High Ministry - exists to provide a safe place for students to explore their faith and radical opportunities to live out their faith in the world. We want to connect adult mentors and teens to encourage each other to experience and follow Jesus together.

The Summit is for students in grades 10-12 (grades 9-12 after spring break). For special events, see the "events" page; for ongoing opportunities, see below.

For up-to-date information and reminders of what's coming up, join us on Facebook!

Sunday Mornings

There is no traditional weekly Senior High "Sunday School" on Sunday mornings.  Rather, we do a series of short-term opportunities throughout the year. In 2012-2013, we plan on the following Sunday morning programs:

January 27 - March 24 -- Sundays 9:30-10:30 am (excluding holiday weekends)
 
Spring Break Missions Trip Preparation
Weekly training and preparation for our spring break missions trip (which is March 29 - April 6, 2013)

Next Gen Leadership Development
High school student leaders for our 5th & 6th grade youth ministry are required to participate in six leadership development sessions throughout the school year. These will be from 9:30-10:30 am on Sundays in the youth office, after which we will attend the 11:00 service together. The dates are:
  • September 23 (9:30-10:30 am)
  • October 21 (12:45-1:45 pm)
  • December 2 (9:30-10:30 am)
  • January 6 (9:30-10:30 am)
  • March 10 (12:45-1:45 pm)
  • May 5 (9:30-10:30 am)

We also encourage all high school students to participate in the main worship service at UCC (8:00, 9:30, 11:00 am, or 5:30 pm). If you choose to go at 11:00 am, many of us sit together near the front right side of the sanctuary and sometimes go out to lunch together afterwards. For more details, contact us!
