The youth of the church can add energy and enthusiasm to our programs. We believe in keeping our youth involved with all of our activities. We also build them a sturdy foundation of learning to prepare them for life. 

Senior High Fellowship

9th through 12th graders at Crescent Avenue, enjoy a robust program focusing on fellowship and building an understanding of applying the teachings of Jesus in the real world. In addition to weekly Sunday classes, the teens have regular outings that include ice skating, laser tag, and go karts. They also take a leadership role in events involving the whole congregation like our yearly barbecue, Christmas play, and Youth Sunday.

The students are excited to participate in projects helping those in need. This can range from feeding the homeless at a local shelter to personally selecting Christmas gifts for needy children. Our week-long summer mission trip is an exciting chance for them to bond. In the summer of 2013, our youth went to Stony Point to work on their Arts Center. You can read about their trip in the blog below.
 
Confirmation

Confirmation is a major milestone in any Christian's path toward spiritual maturity. At CAPC, 8th graders and older youth not yet confirmed participate in the CAPC confirmation program led by Youth Director, Adam Rauscher.


The youth study a confirmation curriculum that instructs in the core beliefs of the Christian faith. Each youth is also paired with an adult mentor who assists in the spiritual development process. The confirmation process culminates in a special celebration during a joyous worship service on Pentecost Sunday when the youth are formally received as members of the CAPC congregation.
