Life moves fast — school, activities, social media, family — sometimes it feels like there’s never time to just pause.

It’s exactly what the Tacoma Joint Youth Group is all about this year. Churches across Tacoma are coming together to give middle and high school students (grades 6–12) a space to connect, recharge, and grow in faith through meaningful conversation, friendship, and fun.

Each gathering includes dinner, games, and time to reflect on how we can find peace and presence in our busy lives. Whether you’re already part of a church or simply curious about community and spirituality, you’re welcome here.

📅 Upcoming PAUSE. Gatherings (6–8 PM, dinner provided):

Nov 12 – Immanuel Presbyterian Church

Dec 10 – Urban Grace Church

Jan 14 – Bethany Presbyterian Church

Feb 11 – Manitou Park Presbyterian Church

The Tacoma Joint Youth Group is a partnership between several local congregations committed to creating safe, inclusive, and affirming spaces for youth to explore faith and friendship.

Come as you are. Bring a friend. Take a deep breath — and pause with us.
