The Youth Group at Maxwell Street Presbyterian Church is centered around the commandments Jesus provides, Love God, Love Your Neighbor, and Love One Another.
Following the Sermon on Sunday mornings, we invite all sixth-through-twelfth graders to join in the youth room to dive into how the message can be applied to everyday life. We do this over a meal (which is provided), games, and discussion together.

Outside of a typical Sunday Youth Group meeting, our youth group participates in "Monthly Missions" to connect with those in the community. Whether it is making a snack for Maxwell Street's E7 Ministry, singing carols at retirement homes, picking up litter in the neighborhood, or serving meals to members of our community at Thursday Night Meals, the commandments to Love Our Neighbors and One Another are reflected in our actions.

Every summer the youth group participates in a mission trip. We follow a rotating schedule of in-state, out-of-state, in-state, out-of-country trips. In 2026, we travelled to Whitesburg, KY as part of the Appalachian Service Project where we rebuilt the front stairs to a home and dug a drainage ditch around the back of the home. In 2027, we will be travelling back to Guatemala as part of the Porch de Solomon ministry.
