Youth Ministry
Here at Salem our goal is to equip our teenage students to move their life of faith beyond the church walls and into their daily context. Through connecting biblical teaching with day to day living, our hope is that our students become 24/7 Disciples of Christ.
We have several opportunities for youth in our church.
Wakeup Call - Sundays mornings at 10:30, High School students are invited to join their peers in a conversation and lesson about the intersection of faith and their lives. From wrestling with scripture, to wrestling with practical 'real life' questions like who to date, God has something to say to each of us. Come and join the discussion. 
Youth Group - Students in 6th to 12th grade are invited to join us every Wednesday night in the church fellowship hall from 7:30-9. We play games, have a bible lesson and even eat a snack. - Confirmation - Confirmation is a two year course that starts when students are in 7th grade. In this class we move through the whole Bible from the Old Testament to the New Testament as well as the history and theology of the Christian faith. This is a great foundation for students to begin going through the Bible, and making the faith their own. We meet every Sunday morning from 9:15-10:15.
- Missions Trips - Every summer we take our high school students on a different trip to serve a community outside of their own. It's important to serve your own community, but it's just as important to have a perspective beyond your immediate surroundings. Through these trips our students not only get to serve in places that are vastly different than their own, but we also partner with local churches and get to see the different ways that the church body worships. Past trips have been to Chicago and Philadelphia.
- Retreats - Throughout the year we go on several weekend retreats with both our Jr. and Sr. High students. These trips are planned by the denominations regional youth pastors and all the New England covenant churches bring their youth groups. There are always great speakers, music, and tons of games. With 300-400 students in attendance, there are plenty of new people to meet as well.
