Youth Ministry at Christ Church

Book Study: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt

Sundays, March 2, 23, 30 & April 6
11:15 am - 12:30 pm | Library

We strongly encourage you to join Josh, Tim, and Susie for this conversation about technology, anxiety, and the massive shift in how our kids are growing up. This book study is a short 4-week course that will encourage honest, robust conversations that will help all of us to support each other in this new world. Come to all of the weeks, or only to those you are able to make. We will learn from each other and hopefully learn how to better support our kids.  

Our hope at Christ Church Greenwich is to provide youth with a safe community and a foundation of Christian formation. We have a rhythm to our ministry and give our youth the best opportunities to connect with each other, bond over life experiences and play a valuable role in the life of Christ Church. Every student needs peers and adults that care about them, accept them, and welcome them and that is our goal here at Christ Church.

Every event that we do has purpose behind it, all in the hopes of building a strong youth community. Everything from breaking bread together to going on ski trips, it’s all intentional.

This really will be a wonderful opportunity for the youth here.
