Middle School Youth (6th, 7th and 8th grades)
The Youth are highly valued as vibrant members of the Manchester Church. They contribute to the worship experience through singing, interpretive movement, drama, clowning, and as worship leaders. Youth retreat twice a year and meet weekly for both serious discussion and fun. They participate in service projects throughout the year and spend a week at a work camp in the summer. Many attend Youth Camp at Camp Mack in Milford, Indiana. Youth annually present a musical drama as both a fund-raiser and to provide a meaningful and enjoyable worship experience for the community. Every four years the youth travel to National Youth Conference for a mountain-top experience in faith. Youth regularly invite friends and are open to explore new ideas, to express the extravagant love of Jesus, and to seek to understand God.
