High-Q

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

High-Q is a high school study from 3 to 4pm on Tuesdays at Westminster. The timing coincides with the end of the school day at Eastview Secondary School. (Westminster is a short walk from Eastview — students can travel south down Nelson then east along Steel. It takes a little under 10 minutes to walk.) We’ll meet in the main-level Library, a bright room right at the front door. The time will be led by Pastor Ruttan. The name “High-Q” comes from what it is about. Yes, it’s a bit of a word play on “IQ” because high school students will be respected as thinking adults. More specifically, it’s a HIGH school-aged study which is based on the Questions of students themselves, the Bible, and apologetics (understanding/explaining the faith). Plus, there will be (good) snacks! At each gathering, Pastor Ruttan will explain what it’s about, and students will be invited to submit questions through an anonymous box system. That will determine what we’ll talk about the next week. If you have any questions please speak with Rev. Ruttan.

Jr Youth Group resumes

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

Along with a new  year comes the winter session of junior youth group! Our Junior Youth Group is coordinated by our Youth Coordinator, Julie Cunha. It runs from January 17 to March 28. We meet on Thursday evenings (usually at the church) from 7 to 8:30pm. During this winter session we are focusing on understanding some of the major biblical themes in the bible and how they connect to our daily lives. Some evenings are 'content driven' and always include a game component and snack. Some evenings also have a purely fun and fellowship focus where we get to know each other better and have some laughs while engaging in activities like laser tag or at Jack's Urban Jungle. Some nights we also have a service focus as we connect our beliefs to our actions and help out in the community. If you have any questions please speak with Julie!
