Middle and high school youth are part of the intergenerational fabric of the Cary Presbyterian Church faith community, participating in a variety of faith formation, fellowship, and service activities led by our 2025-2026 youth advisors: Alan Bancroft, Rachel Campbell, Haley Pierce, and Dan Tomczak.
ALL YOUTH
This fall all middle school and high school youth will go the NC State Fair, decorate the church bus for the CPC Trunk or Treat, assemble care packages for college freshmen, and make Christmas crafts for CPC Beloveds.
Middle School
6th-8th grade youth are invited to join us on Sunday mornings from 9:15-10:15 AM as we explore Biblical themes and share the highs and lows of life. Some of our high school youth will also be there to serve as mentors and guides. We will gather in the Middle School Room downstairs.
HIGH SCHOOL
9th-12th grade youth will gather regularly in the homes of church members for dinner and fellowship. As we seek to build intentional community by sharing the highs and lows of life, we will also talk about how to be “Holy Troublemakers” in the world, with discussion guides from Holy Troublemakers and Unconventional Saints. Locations for our gatherings, as well as menus, will be shared in the weekly Youth Newsletter. Use the form at the bottom of the page to be added to the distribution list.

Growing together.
Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you are welcome here.
The CPC Youth and Family Ministries Team seeks to:
- Provide places for youth and their families to explore their faith in a non-judgmental environment of loving support.
- Develop ministry programs that are relational, formative, and consistent with reformed theology using creativity, openness, compassion and grace.
- Inspire honest and authentic conversations exploring faith and how we experience God.
- Offer a strong foundation for continued spiritual development as our youth move into the world to share God’s love.
- Give opportunity for youth to be involved in the full mission of the church through participation in worship and outreach ministries.
- Provide an environment where our youth can form lasting relationships with adults outside their immediate family.
