Youth Ministry

Youth connecting with God, each other and the Church

Sometimes you hear the statement, “Young people are the future.” At R-W we prefer to say, “young people are the present” because youth and young adults are as much a part of the congregation as our older adults and seniors.

Youth Worship

On Sundays, youth from Grade 7 and up meet in the main youth room (downstairs in the hall under the sanctuary) where we explore the message of Jesus in engaging ways. Newcomers and visiting youth are welcome to take part. Ushers will direct you.
Along with the main room we also have a "youth chapel" for quiet contemplation and prayer, and which seconds as an extra meeting space.

A couple of times a year, youth get together with the children to worship as a group.

In addition, at the beginning of each church season (for example Advent or Lent), all ages gather in the sanctuary. This “Whole Family Worship” is geared for all ages.

Youth Group

Generally once a month, sometimes twice, youth group gets together for a variety of activities ranging from games nights or a trip to West Ed or an event shared with other youth groups in the city or a retreat.

Youth Confirmation

An opportunity to explore faith and prepare for membership.

Retreats and Rallies

Each year, youth from Robertson-Wesley go outside of the city for a mid-winter retreat. It's an opportunity to get away from the urban noise, to reconnect with God, and get to know each other better.

Plus twice a year, Alberta and Northwest Conference put on a couple of youth rallies, one for Jr. Highs and one for Sr. Highs. This is a great opportunity to connect with youth from all over Alberta and even from BC, Yukon and the Northwest Territories.
