Youth Ministry

Welcome to Union's Youth Ministry!

Our desire is to create a community where youth feel known, accepted, and cared for as they grow into mature followers of Jesus Christ. Whether you’ve been raised in church or if this is your first time, we hope this can be a place where you can learn more about God, develop your faith and walk hand in hand with those just like you.

We have a variety of opportunities and events for youth (11-18 years old). Details below, and if you have any questions please email us at  .


Youth Services 
Union's Youth meet Friday nights and Sunday morning for fellowship and learning more about the Christian Faith. It's a great way for students to make new friends, learn more about God's love for them, and find a safe and fun place to just be themselves.

Mentoring Program
Mentoring consists of matching an experienced adult follower of Christ with a youth (aged 11 to 17), with the goal of developing soul-friendship and accountability.

Mentoring Program

Mentoring consists of matching an experienced adult follower of Christ with a youth (aged 11 to 17), with the goal of developing soul-friendship and accountability. It fits perfectly with Union Church’s mission to make mature followers in all nations for Jesus Christ, through our united lifestyle, witness and mission. Mentoring is an old Christian practice based on the Apostle Paul’s own relationship with Timothy: in Acts 16 we learn of Paul’s decision to be Timothy’s spiritual father.

Expectations of the mentors
1. Meet one-on-one with your mentee once month
2. Check in with him/her every other week (phone call, text, message…)
3. Attend one meaningful event of your mentee during the year (sport, graduation, play, band performance etc)
4. Communicate on a regular basis (at least every 2 months) with the Youth Director and the parents

There are many benefits of a good mentoring program: role-modeling, faith development, accountability, and deepening ties within our congregation. Think of the mentor as a very good teacher at school: someone you will always remember.

Baptism & Confirmation

This program is open to youth between 12 to 17 years-old, and is supervised by the Youth Director of Union Church. Below are FAQ that will help you understand this program better.

What should I expect from the Youth Confirmation program?
The Confirmation program is a year-long program committed to teaching youth aged 12 and older the essentials of what it means to live their life in Christ. It is a meaningful opportunity to experience spiritual formation and forge deeper relationships inside and outside church.

Do we have to confirm once we enroll in the program?
No. Youth who enroll are called ‘candidates’ and do not have to pledge that they will be confirmed at the end of the year. The program is an exploration of the Christian faith that should lead to an informed and personal decision from the youth whether to confirm their faith in Christ or not.

What is the difference between Confirmation and Teen Baptism?
Youth who have already been baptized will do confirmation, while youth who have not been baptized will do ‘youth baptism’ (which has the same value as an adult baptism). But the program is the same!

How can I enroll?
As you can see on the Confirmation Infographic, the process for confirmation is simple. You first need to register by sending an email to  . We will then pair the candidate with a mentor, who will meet on a regular basis with him/her. At the end of the year (in May) we do an awesome spiritual retreat, and participation to the retreat is required.
