Youth

The youth group at Emmanuel loves having fun! We do everything from hiking trips, lively pool parties to spirited flag football matches and captivating photo scavenger hunts. Additionally, the annual winter retreat at Camp Berea in NH has become a cherished tradition.

With approximately 70 students from Foxboro and neighboring areas, our youth activities are designed with a clear goal in mind: to support and nurture young individuals. We achieve this by fostering meaningful relationships, encouraging the development of friendships and mentorship, and connecting them to helpful outside resources when needed. At the heart of our endeavors lies a profound focus on identity—helping our youth discover and embrace the person that God, their Creator, has uniquely made them to be. This emphasis on identity takes a burden off our kids in a world that always wants them to define themselves.

Deep Freeze is a youth winter camp at Camp Berea in Hebron, NH. Berea’s mission is to love New England churches by providing high-quality programing, creating epic experiences, and making space for people to reconnect with the life-changing power of the Gospel. Deep Freeze has been a big part of the lives of many students from Church of Emmanuel throughout the years, helping them take their next faith steps. 

For students, it offers a fun-filled getaway where they are able to seek out what it means to be a Jesus follower & where they are surrounded by other believers their age. For leaders, Deep Freeze provides a place where Berea takes care of all the details so that the leaders can have undivided focus on students and participate in activities with them and have unhurried conversation. You won't want to miss out on this impactful weekend!
