YOUTH
“
Your word is a lamp before my feet and a light for my journey.”
-Psalm 119:105 CEB
YOUTH AT ASCENSION
Adolescence is a time of exploration and transition. Our youth take ownership of their community. Supported by a team of caring adults, our youth are given the tools to live out their faith as leaders in our parish. Service projects, pilgrimages, social events, and Bible study are all part of our youth offerings.

Ascension Youth Group – Come Be a Part of Something Bigger!
​
Starting Sunday, September 14th, Ascension’s Youth Group is back. This fall, we're diving into a new year of real talk, genuine faith, and real impact. Through Project Bible and Jesus Calling, we explore how God’s Word connects to your world.
We're about action, too. Each month, we roll up our sleeves and team up to make a difference. Whether it’s putting together Blessing Bags for the homeless, helping out with the little ones in Godly Play, building furniture, or pulling off fun holiday events, we show up and serve. And we have a blast doing it.
​
We also make space for fun and friendship—think bowling nights, ropes courses, and plenty of laughs along the way. Many of our teens also step up to lead in worship and help in Children’s Chapel, discovering how to live out their faith in powerful ways.
This isn’t just a youth group. It’s a community where you’ll grow, serve, and be seen.
Want to join us? Have questions? Email Alice at Alice.Frederick@ascensiondallas.org for all the details!

CONFIRMATION | 13+
Confirmation is the sacramental rite in which the candidates express a mature commitment to Christ and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop. Those who were baptized at an early age are invited to make a mature public affirmation of their faith. Confirmation classes will help prepare candidates for the sacrament as we explore the church's teachings and develop our own faith identity. Contact Fr. Oliver if you are interested in participating in the next series of classes.
SERVING IN WORSHIP | 10:30 AM SUNDAYS
Youth are encouraged to lead through service in our community and worship services. Teens can serve as acolytes, readers, youth vergers, ushers, and greeters. For more information, contact Fr. Oliver.
​
BLESSING BAGS
Our Blessing Bags are a youth-sponsored ministry, and fresh batches are available each week. We have them set up in the Narthex and invite you to take a few, put them in your car, and hand them out to people who need a little love. What's in them? Socks, a comb, a toothbrush, toothpaste, a thermal blanket, Band-Aids, a bandana, tampons, a granola bar, and water!
If you'd like to help purchase the contents, we have an Amazon wish list to make it easy for you. Click HERE! Thank you for your love!
