Sunday Worship
Geneva's Middle and High Schoolers meet Sunday mornings at 10:30 AM in the youth room - complete with ping-pong table and old, beat-up couches - for a time of worship and Bible study. The two groups begin the morning together singing contemporary praise songs with guitar accompaniment, then separate for Bible study. Many of our youth also attend our 9:30 AM contemporary worship service which is held in Simpson Hall.

Music
Geneva has a tradition of nurturing highly skilled musicians and vocalists within the local church family. Middle and High School bands lead worship for both the Wednesday night LOGOS program and on Sunday mornings. All band members are comprised of Geneva youth and practice weekly, or as needed.

Retreats and Camps Summer (week-long); Winter (weekend only)
Camps are a vital part of the youth ministry at Geneva. Students can get away from their everyday schedules in a safe and nurturing environment, grow in their relationship with God and build lifelong friendships.

Confirmation Program
The confirmation program is offered annually to 8 - 10th graders who wish to make a public profession of their faith in Jesus Christ and become active members of Geneva. A prerequisite for this program is regular and proven participation in the life of Geneva's worship, fellowship and ministries.

October Pumpkin Carnival
An old-fashioned fall harvest party complete with games, food and a costume parade, which our Middle and High School kids put on for smaller children. This October event features fun events such as a cake walk, bounce house, photo booth, and a snack bar with pizza, popcorn, pumpkin seeds and more.. Bring your kids and your appetite! No scary or evil costumes, please.

Advent Celebration
Middle school students love this event mostly for the cool crafts they can make and then give to their families for Christmas presents! Held the Sunday before Advent, people of all ages come together to "Hang the Greens" in the sanctuary and chapel, prepare decorations for their homes, share a meal and sing Christmas carols.
