We want you to be a part of MDPC Youth! We have a lot of fun together, but most importantly, we grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ. In addition to worshiping and studying the Bible together, our youth group participates in a ton of events like service projects, mission trips, retreats, fellowship, and much more.

Confirmation is available to 9th to 12th grade students who are prepared to declare their faith in Jesus and join MDPC as members. It is a chance for students to understand the basic beliefs of the Christian faith, engage in discussions, ask questions, and develop as disciples of Jesus.
The next confirmation class will take place in September 2025. Registration will be open in April 2025.

Hospitality for MDPC Youth means providing a welcoming space for students when they come to our programs! Donuts, check-in tables, and decorating for events are just some of the things our hospitality team does for our students! Behind the scenes but making the first impression, our hospitality team needs people who are creative, friendly, and willing to pick up donuts!
MDPC Youth goes on several trips throughout the year, and they range from weekend retreats to weeklong mission trips. Trip leaders are asked to commit to attending the entire trip. We ask that they be flexible as sometimes the flow of the trip changes, and able to support the goal of the retreat/trip. Trip leaders are asked to be comfortable leading small-group time (with resources provided) and to be willing to lead by word and example.
Sunday mornings are busy! Our Connection leaders help our staff manage the chaos by interacting with students, playing games, and helping students focus when it’s time for the message! Our Connection leaders make a commitment to attending Connection once or twice a month! We ask these volunteers to be comfortable initiating conversations, participating in games, and encouraging students to focus when the time comes.
Life groups are a safe space for students to explore and grow in their faith through discussion and reading scripture. Life group leaders are a vital part of that process by providing a safe and helpful sounding board, offering wise and sound input, asking questions, and encouraging students as they make their faith their own. We ask our life group leaders to commit to leading for at least one year (although we hope they’ll stay on for longer) and to showing up every week as well as dropping in on one or two additional MDPC Youth Ministry events to help build their relationships with their group!
