Plymouth Fellowship is our youth group for high school students; aiming to strike a balance between fun and faith. The Sunday night meetings are typically at 7:00 and alternate between game-playing and exploring our faith and how that relates to the many issues facing teens today. Our youth groups are open to all who wish to attend and honor the code of conduct. The highlight of the PF program year is the annual spring break work tour. In 2011, the group will travel to Albany, GA to work with Habitat for Humanity. Mike Tilden, Director of Youth Ministries, leads Plymouth Fellowship and JRneys, our junior high youth group.

Sports Camp: If you're looking for an opportunity for your son or daughter to have an amazing experience then Sports Camp is for you! Sports Camp is a UCC week long camp in June held at Pilgrim Park in Princeton, IL. The days are filled with activities for everyone and the laughter is endless! This is a camp that focusses on sportsmanship and inclusion; building a family bond among the campers and staff that lasts a lifetime. As the youth director here at First Congo I highly recommend that your kids go to Sports Camp 2011. It is for boys and girls who have just completed 6th, 7th, 8th & 9th grades.
