Growing Together
Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you are welcome here.
Youth Group
How it works: Once a month, youth from Elk Grove, Loomis, and Parkside UCCs and throughout the community come together for an all El Parkis Youth Ministry Event.
We volunteer locally, embark on overnight service trips, play pickup sports games, make art, and throw top-notch BBQs.
At Loomis UCC, youth group occurs every Wednesday night. We share a meal together and engage in youth activities.
Anyone can join- you don’t have to belong to our church or even be religious.
All are welcome. And there are ALWAYS SNACKS.
Join us for our all El Parkis events and/or Wednesday night programming.
