Teen Programs

Confirmation classes are held every few years. They are scheduled in cooperation with families, and guided by our pastor and elder Lynn Brown.
Eight teens took confirmation classes in the spring of 2024. They contributed to Sunday services, mission projects and other activities.

Opportunities for Teens to Learn and Grow:
Community Service Through Mission Projects Teens play important roles in our Mission Projects to help people and families in need in our community. For example, they collect food donations and volunteer to help on Saturdays at the Philipstown Food Pantry. They also make lunches and sort clothes, prepare food for our Midnight Run missions that provide food, clothing, comfort, and conversation to the homeless people in New York City. Students 16 yrs and older can also participate in our Presbybuild workdays to help build and renovate homes for families in Newburgh, in partnerships with other churches and Habitat for Humanity. |

permission. They can also volunteer through youth organizations such as school groups or scout troops. You can
