Youth Group

“It has given me a chance to improve my leadership skills, meet a variety of wonderful people, and attend activities or events that I wouldn’t normally come across.  I really appreciate all that it has given me, and I hope to contribute to the community of Leaside United in the future and the present.”

Leaside United Church Youth Group:

L.U.C.Y

Leaside United Church Youth welcomes all youth grades six and up

LUCY began in 2009 with a handful of junior high students who are now off at University and continues to grow each year. Please feel welcome to join us for fun and friendship.  LUCY strongly adheres to the following principles:

  • To give youth a voice through hands on experiences, art, sports, games, drama, discussions and community involvement
  • To be OPEN to ALL youth, regardless of their race, religious backgrounds, beliefs or sexual orientation
  • Attendance on Sunday mornings or membership to Leaside United Church is not required
  • No religious instruction is given; however, we celebrate and support each other’s spirit by respecting and supporting our individual journeys.
  • Our mantra: “Kind words and kind deed’s”rainbowtriangle

    What do we do?

  • We meet regularly for different events.
  • First we check in and chat about anything interesting in the news or our lives.
  • Always we eat snacks, and have a chance to just hang out.

“It is a warm, inclusive place in my community where I always feel welcome.”

North Toronto Cluster Youth Events:

The North Toronto Cluster of Churches – 10 United Churches in our neighbourhood – will cooperate in youth work for the first time this year.

The youth events will be happening on 4 Friday nights and one weekend between September 2019 and April 2020, each time at a different church of the North Toronto Cluster. The events are supported by the GO-Project, a branch of the United Church of Canada that deals with youth ministry.

It will be a great opportunity to get to know teens from other churches and to create the basis for fun joined events in the future.


Youth Faith Exploration:

(previously known as Confirmation Class)

Teens who are 12 years and up are warmly invited to participate in Faith Exploration! This group will focus on questions related to faith and spirituality and encourage personal reflection and group discussion. In May, participants can decide whether or not to become a member of the church or to continue their faith exploration before making this decision. The program will run from October to May.
