Are you looking for a place where your teenager can build genuine friendships, feel completely at home, and simply be themselves?
Our Youth Group theme this year is Known and Loved — because that is what we hope every teenager experiences here. A place where they know they belong, where they are loved for exactly who they are, and where they can grow alongside people who care about them.
Youth Group is such a special community. Every Sunday, we get to watch teens laugh together, make new friends, have honest conversations, encourage one another, and create memories that I hope they will carry with them for years to come. We are continually blown away by the young people in this community, and we want every 6th–12th grader to have the opportunity to experience the love, joy, and belonging that make Youth Group so special.
There is no pressure to perform, win, or achieve. Just a place to show up as your authentic self — for fun, meaningful conversation, service, games, and community.
Youth Group officially begins Sunday, September 13th and continues each week through June. We meet in person at Old South Union Church on Sunday evenings:
6th–8th Grade: 5:00–6:30 p.m.
9th–12th Grade: 6:30–8:00 p.m.
Throughout the year, we also have lock-ins, speakers, dances, fun theme nights, awesome snacks, a winter retreat, adventure trips, volunteer opportunities, and a weeklong overnight Summer Camp every August in addition to our weekly meetings.
And before we officially begin, we're having a Summer Party this Sunday, 8/23 from 5:00–6:30 p.m. on the church lawn! Come hang out, meet some of our Youth Group community, enjoy some summer fun, and get a taste of what Youth Group is all about. We'd love to see you there!
Youth Group is open to ALL 6th–12th graders, regardless of what school they attend, what town they live in, or what church they belong to. We have teens who come from communities all around the South Shore, and there is always a place for you here.

We can't wait for another year together. ❤️ You are known. You are loved. And there is a place for you here.
