MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP
The Middle School Youth Group (MSYG) at CCoL includes students from 6th, 7th, and 8th grades from Littleton as well as surrounding communities like Ayer, Harvard, and Groton. We meet every Sunday during church, but separate from the worship service. In ministering to the students we focus on Faith, Fellowship and Service. We explore how Faith impacts our daily lives and the decisions we make while ensuring we still find time to have a little fun.

HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP
The high school youth group at CCOL welcomes any high-school-aged youth (9th through 12th grade), no matter where you are along your faith journey. We have weekly meetings most Sunday evenings, from 7-9pm. Meetings are led by Michelle Rawlinson, director of Christian education, and Youth Leaders Brad Hamilton and Kate Boteggo.
Our group consists of students from a number of high schools in the area. We join together, as a supportive and accepting group, for fun activities, games, service projects, Bible study, discussions, spiritual nurture and leadership development.
Our ultimate goals are to:
- inspire faithful commitment to Jesus, including Bible study, fellowship, and church attendance
- encourage positive relationships based on the love of God
- provide opportunities for fellowship with peers in a safe, comfortable, and uplifting environment
- provide opportunities for service to others within our community, as well as an annual mission trip experience
The culmination of our program year is our annual mission trip. Each summer, we travel to a different state for a week-long service adventure.
