2024 Summer Youth Trip: California Indigenous People’s Tour
Reporting back from the Youth Indigenous People’s Tour of Palm Springs, Katrina Rodriguez says the group had a wonderful and rich experience. The group hiked over 10 miles in Agua Caliente Reservation land to spiritual and sacred pools and waterfalls. They also learned about the native’s creation story and resilience to change at the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum. Down time was filled with snacking and swimming- both great ways to beat the 100+ heat. Big thank you to the congregation for all of the support the youth receive!
Youth Information
Every Age is Important
Youth (Grades 6-12) are an important part of our church life. They read scripture, volunteer in the kitchen, raise funds for youth trips focused on social justice causes, and more. Current youth gathering information can be found under the Connect Mid-Week Group menu.
Youth in Worship
We encourage youth to sit with their friends and family in the Worship Service on Sundays. Youth participate in Worship by signing up to read Scripture, light the Christ candle, and more. La Verne Church of the Brethren values the voice of every person, regardless of age.
General Youth Events
Every year our youth participate in various events throughout the year. These are just a few examples:
Buy a Slice
Youth raise funds for trips and social justice causes by baking and selling slices of pie to the congregation. This is a fun experience in that takes place in our well-equipped kitchen with the leadership of our Kitchen Coordinator, Corlan.
Shopping and Wrapping Party
For Christmas, students adopt a family in need. The youth raise funds to provide Christmas presents for the family. After funds are raised, students shop for the family and wrap all the gifts.
Christian Citizenship Seminar
High School youth participate in a trip to Washington D.C. where they learn about a peace topic and take steps toward reform.
