Shallowford is a welcoming community for Atlanta teens in grades 6–12 to connect, grow in faith, and explore God’s truth in a safe, fun environment. Through Bible study, small groups, choir, fellowship and retreats, we help youth live as disciples of Christ: Youth IN Ministry.
Fellowship
Sundays, 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
During the school year, youth gather and share a meal together, then break out for discussion and fun group activities. Shallowford offers a welcoming place for all middle and high school kids to relax and feel like a part of the family, as well as deepen your faith and build new relationships.
Leadership
Each fall, youth lead a worship service where they prepare their own liturgy, write their own sermons, and lead the congregation in prayer and through song.
Confirmation
Sundays, January through April
9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Each spring, eighth grade students explore their faith in community as they journey toward membership. Throughout the Confirmation process, confirmands will learn about the books of Bible, church policy, spiritual practices, and the sacraments. Shallowford excitedly awaits confirmands who are willing to put their faith, trust, and love in Jesus Christ.
Trips
Shallowford offers a variety of trips for all the different age groups of our youth including a middle and high school trip each year. In the summer, youth have the option to attend a week-long trip to the Montreat Youth Conference in Montreat, North Carolina, as well as a mission trip to serve in another community. Youth group is free, although we do rely on monetary donations and payments for many of our trips and retreats (all of which are optional).
