Every Wednesday, the youth of DPC gather for element, a time designed just for youth to connect with each other, to connect with God, and to have a good time. Youth Choir meets weekly from 6:00 to 7:00, dinner is from 7 to 7:30, and element continues until 9:00. Check here for upcoming events and the latest information.

Every Sunday morning, from 9:45 to 10:30, we have PB + J (aka: church school classes) for all grades. Students in grades 7-12 meet in the Youth Room on the second floor of Andrew's Hall for a time together before breaking off into small groups. Join us!
