Hi! We’re so excited to meet your 7th–12th graders and get to know your family. If you have questions about Youth Ministries, contact any of the staff listed below.
We want your first visit to our church to be fun and simple; it’s our hope that you will experience our warm community and that your teens will be free to encounter gospel grace during their visit.
On your first visit with us, stop by our Welcome Center, which is located near the entrance on the upper level. A volunteer will be ready to greet you and help your teen get settled in.
Discipleship Hour classes meets most Sundays, while other programs only meet a couple Sundays a month. Check our calendar to see what’s happening when you visit!
Grades 7–12 are encouraged to participate in the 8:45am or 11:15am worship service with parents or peers and join us at 10:15am for Discipleship Hour.
7th–12th grade students meet each week at 10:15am; check in at our welcome desk by the Multi-Purpose Room (on the lower level) before heading to class.
Grades 7–12 gather most Sundays (during the school year) from 5–7pm for large group community and small group discipleship.
Each week, middle-schoolers and high-schoolers meet separately, alternating between Youth Group and D-Groups: on weeks when Middle School Youth Group meets, high-schoolers meet in D-Groups — and middle-schoolers meet in D-Groups on High School Youth Group weeks.
We’re a space for teens to connect to God’s word and to each other — growing in biblically-rooted faith, knowledge, and friendships.
Every other meeting, we’ll tackle a tough topic with a panel of “experts”: we don’t pretend to have all the answers, but we do want to provide a space for teens to ask the tough questions!
Discipleship Groups (D-Groups) are organized by grade and gender, and meet twice a month at McLean Presbyterian Church. D-Groups are a place where students encounter Christ in a smaller setting, connect with peers on a deeper level, and are mentored by an adult leader.
Contact Jake to get connected to a D-Group!
Through group service opportunities and missions trips, teens learn to share gospel grace with those around them.
