Hello Teens & Parents!

We are SO excited about what’s ahead for our youth program and we want you to be part of it! Whether you’re currently involved or have joined us in the past, this year is shaping up to be full of fun, service, community, and meaningful experiences.

 Summer Mission Trip – June/July 
Plans are officially underway, and we’d love for your teen to join us! If you’re interested in learning more (dates, location, and details coming soon), please take a moment to register for updates here:

 Sign up for Mission Trip info: SIGN UP LINK  Registering does not commit you—it just keeps you in the loop! Parents, please let us know if you are interested in attending as an adult chaperone depending on the date.  We need ideally (2) male AND (2) female chaperones or we can't go. 

This year we'll be asking for a non-refundable deposit of $50 per person for the trip to reserve your spot and show your commitment to attend. The total cost is $558 per person which each person will be responsible for paying.  We will be providing plenty of Volunteer hours for fundraisers for campers to "work off" their debt.  Your hours and your "cut" of the donations will be recorded. However, no one will be left behind. Financial Scholarships are available for multiple child households or those in need of support. Speak privately with Pastor Brian. Here is the volunteer log chart we will be using.

FIRST FUNDRAISING EVENT


Our first TEEN fundraiser kicks off on Super Bowl Sunday, February 8, with a “Big Game Subs, Bigger Mission” sub sale to support the 2026 Youth Mission Trip. Anyone can order a custom 12-inch sub for $8 and enjoy free pickup at 2:00 PM at Brookfield Congregational Church, or local delivery for a small fee. Assembly will start after Coffee hour, approx. 11:30am and run till 3 (or when all subs have been distributed)    More info on our website HERE  I've attached the order forms also. 
Teens will play an active role by assembling subs under adult supervision in our Safe Serve–regulated kitchen, and assisting with pickup and local deliveries. This hands-on experience helps our teens learn teamwork, responsibility, and service while raising funds for their summer mission trip—all while providing the congregation with a delicious game-day meal.   SIGN UP FOR VOLUNTEER HOURS HERE.  (we also need 4 adults for supervision)
