Veritas | Youth Group for Grades 7 to 12

What is Veritas? The word Veritas means “truth” in Latin. In John 8:31b-32, Jesus says, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free”. (NRSV) In this passage, the word used for “truth” is Jesus himself.

At Westminster, if you hear someone say they are “going to Veritas”, it means they are coming to youth group. At Veritas, the evening begins at 5:30 with dinner in Fellowship Hall, followed by games in the WROC. The rest of our evening is spent in worship and prayer, followed by small group discussions about what it means to be a follower of Jesus in our world today. Veritas is open to all students in grades 7-12. For more information, please contact Becky Boyer. Annual registration is required.

Love Your Neighbor

2023-2024 | Who Is My Neighbor?

Our theme for winter and spring is Who Is My Neighbor? I know, I know, Becky is on her Mr. Rogers kick again. (I can’t help it!) But as you know, our neighbor is not just the people in our neighborhood, but the world. We are going to delve into some tough topics, as well as having time for some fun along the way. All students in grades 7-12 are welcome. Come as you are!

Learning about God in church is great, but it’s even greater while walking through the woods or going down a water slide. Check out our events page to see what we’re up to this time!
