S.W.A.G. (Saved With Amazing Grace)


Parkside SWAG Youth exists to create a welcoming environment where students can enjoy fellowship, explore their faith deeply, and discover practical ways to live faithfully in both personal and community life. 



We welcome any and all students Grade 6 thru 12 who come through our doors- inviting them to respond to the Gospel personally and to be involved in the fellowship and community of the church, learning to serve one another in love.  


Youth nights may include (but not limited to): Games, worship, teaching/small groups, snacks, videos, contests, ice breakers, fun-nights, and more!


Connect with us on social media for regular updates:

Youth Nights

Youth Night takes place Friday nights from 6-8 pm at Parkside.  We meet in the sanctuary, Circle of Joy, and Youth Room areas for the different parts of youth night.  


Our youth nights include hang out, make friends, play games together, and we have a Bible teaching with small group discussion.  It's ALWAYS a blast!  


Youth on Sunday morning

On Sunday mornings, we have a Middle School Sunday school class during the 11 am service.  This class is open to any students in grades 6-8.


We do not have a class for high school students on Sundays.  High School students are invited to participate in 3 ways:

  • Join the worship service with your family
  • Participate in an adult Sunday school class
  • Serve in ministry (we will help you find a place)

Other Youth Ministry happenings

Beyond Youth Nights and Sunday mornings, a few other things

  • Fun Nights- Occasionally, we will have a game night, movie night, or some other kind of 'just for fun' event for students to feel free to invite unchurched friends to come join us. 
  • Saturday/Weekend Events- once per month (on average) we will plan a fun event or service project for students to participate in. 
  • Weekend Retreats- a couple times per year, we will go on a retreat with our students for a weekend.  These times are intended to help students grow closer to God, evaluate their faith, and learn how to live that faith in practice. 
  • Summer Mission Trips- We aim to take at least one 'mission' trip each summer- highlighting to students both the need to learn to serve others in the name of Christ and also share the Good News of Jesus all over the world! These trips include a ministry closer to home and international trips every other year.
