Grades 6–12
Welcome! At Sunnyvale Pres youth are an integral part of our congregation.
Our vision for our youth ministry is:
- Youth will know and experience the unconditional love, grace and acceptance of God through our church community.
- Youth will learn about and experience the call to be Christ's faithful disciples who love God and love their neighbors.
- Youth will understand that faith and spiritual growth is a complex journey that involves embracing the tension between beliefs and the inevitable doubts and questions that arise, all while maintaining a commitment to a community of faith.
- Youth will be accompanied on their faith journey by all members of SVPC, regardless of age.
- Youth will feel that God and our church are relevant to their lives and what is happening in the world.
- Youth will have participated in the life of the church in such a way that they can comfortably transition to being adult Christians and members of the church.

Each gathering we'll explore a really big question and discover what each of us, the Bible, and other Christian theologians think about these questions. Of course, we'll spend time checking in and snacking as well.
Mission Trips
CARAVAN High School Missions Trip
July 20-27, 2025
Youth Ministry is excited to announce that for our CARAVAN 2025 High School Missions trip that we will be headed nearby to San Francisco from July 20 to July 27! We will head up to San Francisco to partner with organizations that are ministering to both the unhoused and immigrant populations in the city. In many ways, San Francisco has historically and currently been at the center of both issues and we are hoping to continue to build connections and partnerships for ongoing ministry in those areas.
