Village Youth is for middle and high school students in 6th-12th grade.
Village Youth exists to be a safe and welcoming place for students to belong and connect in community as they develop as followers of Jesus Christ.
We meet on Sundays from 6:30-8pm at Village (on the lawn or in the Fellowship Hall) unless otherwise noted on our schedule below.
Village Youth Germany Ministry Trip
Unfortunately, the youth summer ministry trip to Egypt had to be canceled due to the war in the Middle East….but fortunately, we are able to pivot to Stuttgart, Germany! Our high school juniors and seniors will visit with the Diocese of EKKIOS that was created by GAFCON as a home for Christians from a Muslim background. We will serve in various churches that serve and minister to these refugees living in Germany. We would love your prayers and for you to consider donating to our scholarship fund that will be split equally among all the students going on the trip. The link to donate to the scholarship fund is below.

PMAC volunteer opportunities
PMAC is an after-school and summer program that runs every weekday in concurrence with the Greenville County Schools schedule. During the school year, children come straight from school to PMAC, where they engage in physical fitness, games, art, dance, music, and character building activities throughout the afternoon. During the summer, children are at PMAC all day during the work week. They are in need of volunteers 15 years or older. Click here to fill out a volunteer interest form.
Parent Resources for Teen Discipleship
I am very aware that I am not a parent to teenagers so I don’t pretend to have experiential knowledge I do not have. However, I do read a lot of books/articles and listen to a lot of podcasts about teenagers-especially, the spiritual development and formation of teenagers. Here is a list of resources I have found helpful. Please let me know if you have any additional resources you think I should add to this list.
Parents and students, if you are new to Village Youth would like to receive emails about youth happenings, please contact Smyth (smyth@villagegreenville.com) and she will add you to the email list. A Village Youth newsletter is sent out at the beginning of each month.
