Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
Children, Youth & Family Ministries
The children + youth programs run September - early June.
Children are always welcome at our worship services and we offer coloring pages, fidget toys, and reading materials, as well as a “prayground” in the back left corner of the sanctuary. Nursery care is available throughout the morning for our youngest children. Children's Church for children Kindergarten through 5th grade happens during the service. Children leave for Children's Church following the “Word for All Ages.”
For more information on children’s ministry, please reach out to Addison Saviers, Director of Children & Family Ministry.
For more information on the Middle and High School Youth Groups, please reach out to Marcus Hill, Youth Leader.
For other questions about our ministries for Children, Youth, and Families, please reach out to Rev. Martha Schick, Associate Minister.

Confirmation Class is offered every other year as a chance for 9th and 10th graders to deepen and explore their faith. Each cohort participates in class time and “faith experiences,” including serving and worshipping alongside unhoused neighbors in the Boston Common and a religious art scavenger hunt at the Museum of Fine Art. The cohort eats together and forms relationships with adult mentors to ask big questions.
If you are interested in Confirmation for the ‘26-’27 school year, please be in touch with Rev. Martha Schick.

Our robust High School Youth Group welcomes high schoolers from Concord and surrounding towns to meet twice a week for Sunday evening youth group at 7 p.m. and Wednesday evening discussion group at 7 p.m.

High-schoolers and TriCon adult leaders serve on a yearly mission trip either in February or April. These trips are a highlight of our high-school program every year. Performing service and outreach, learning about other communities, often those impoverished, facing food scarcity or lacking safe shelter. The most recent trips have been to Savannah, Georgia; the border in Texas working with migrant families; Navajo Nation in Arizona; hurricane relief in Texas and Puerto Rico; and rural home repair in Appalachia in both Kentucky and West Virginia.
The next Mission Trip will be in February 2027.
