Christian Youth Groups in Denver

We have two active Christian youth groups at Wellshire Presbyterian Church in Denver, Colorado. Our youth ministry includes a middle school youth group (grades 6 - 8) and a high school youth group (grades 9 - 12).

Our church youth groups are open to any Christian teenager or preteen in the Denver area. Contact the Rev. Brian Daoust, our youth pastor, to get involved!

Christian youth ministry at Wellshire: Why participate?

Our Christian youth groups provide a strong faith community for middle school and high school students.  They’re a great way for teenagers to:

• Explore and grow their relationship with God.
• Discuss and learn about relevant topics.
• Serve others through mission work.
• Make new friends and develop a great support network.
• Travel for mission trips or fellowship (high school youth group).

How our church youth groups work

Both of our Christian youth groups meet on Sunday evenings at Wellshire Church. The groups start together in shared discussion. Then, they split apart for relevant games and youth activities. Finally, the groups come back together for worship and singing (the latter under the musical leadership of our youth music group).

Our high school group is also active outside the walls of Wellshire Church. Their youth activities include service work, such as building homes for Habitat. The senior high group also goes on local social outings, such as ski trips.

Annual retreats for Denver youth in the Colorado mountains

During the school year, young people from our church youth groups can participate in a Presbyterian weekend retreat at Highlands Camp. These annual, age-appropriate retreats attract teenagers from Presbyterian churches across Denver, Colorado. Activities include small group discussion, bible study, a keynote workshop, games and recreation, and worship and music. All youth are welcome!

Sunday school for middle school and high school youth

In addition to Christian youth groups, Wellshire Church offers Sunday school programs for middle school and high school youth. These classes use media, music and film to bring scripture and other relevant topics to life.

Confirmation for teenagers going into high school

We encourage youth going into high school (typically, those in 9th grade) to sign up for Confirmation. Lasting from fall to spring, this youth program gives teenagers an opportunity to explore and learn about their Presbyterian faith. For details on our Confirmation program, please contact Rev. Brian Daoust, our church youth pastor.
