The Aylmer Christian Reformed Church has an active youth program to encourage, develop, and support youth in their faith.
SERVE
This exciting, “hands on” program is specifically designed to help high school aged students learn to share Christian compassion through service projects to those in areas of need, often the inner cities of North and Central America. During their one week stay, students will be involved in projects such as home repairs, painting, yard work, working in thrift stores and food banks (at times serving food to the homeless), helping out with seniors, individuals with disabilities as well as kids in day camps. Aylmer CRC has had a long history of being actively involved with SERVE.
GIVE: one week of your time
GAIN: spiritual challenge, friends from all over North America, fun and memories for a lifetime!
Contact Pastor Jason or Pastor Bosma for more information.
ENCOUNTERS

These one, two or three week mission opportunities, geared primarily for senior high school (grade 11 and 12) are often a catalyst to help discern God’s calling in individual’s lives. Activities may include assisting with special – needs individuals, volunteering at sports and Bible camps, street ministry and more.
