Who We Are

WE Youth at The Water’s Edge is a community that provides a safe and welcoming environment for middle and high school students. Our desire is to help students make meaningful connections, grow spiritually, and build strong relationships with others. WE Youth is open to anyone currently in the age group of 6th-12th grades.

Gatherings

WE Youth

Our middle and high school youth gather to connect with friends, build new relationships, and engage in LIFEgroup conversations to help students better grasp God’s word and its relevance in their lives.

Confirmation

Ready to take the next step in your faith? Youth in 8th grade and older are invited to be part of our 2025–26 Confirmation Preparation Experience. Together we’ll explore baptism, deepen our understanding of the Christian faith, and discover what it means to follow Jesus—preparing to affirm our commitment to Christ and His church.
 
The journey begins with our first session on Sunday, September 21 at 9:00 am in the Community Room.

Frequently Asked Questions

During the adolescent years, everything changes quickly in life. As students transition from children to young adults, they require guidance to navigate the challenges, struggles, questions, and changes they will face. That’s why WE are here!
WE believe students grow best when given the opportunity to engage one another in conversation and ask questions in a safe and caring environment. LIFEgroups are made up of smaller groups of students and guided by adults who choose to invest in and walk beside our students as they navigate their middle school and high school years. Each of our adult leaders has completed our volunteer training and gets weekly updates and guides for leading their groups.

WE Youth volunteers are the heart of our ministry. Whether guiding a Sunday morning class, mentoring a confirmation student, greeting students, hosting a LIFEgroup, leading a service project, or going to camp or on a mission trip. WE always welcome more caring adults who are willing to invest their time and energy in our youth. If you’re interested in how you can help our youth grow into fully devoted followers of Jesus, please fill out our form below.

Our team is dedicated adults who are committed to providing youth the opportunities to connect with God and others. To ensure the safety and well-being of the youth, our adult leaders have undergone ministry-specific training, completed an online abuse prevention, safety, and security course, and undergone background checks.
