Men’s Bread Making Group

Men Baking Bread brings men who love making all types of freshly baked bread together or who would like to learn how. More than just baking bread, they are developing a wider mission at Kent UCC. All men are welcome and no skill level is required. The cost (usually $1.00–$2.50/per loaf) will be shared. The bakers meet on the first and third Tuesdays of the month in the church kitchen from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.

Saturday Breakfast: On the first Saturday of the month from 8:00 to 9:00 am, men gather for conversation and fellowship at a legendary Kent diner.

J-Walkers

J-Walkers, named for following in Jesus’ footsteps and also for living a countercultural faith, meets after worship twice a month from 11:15 am–12:45 pm. Youth who are in 6th–8th grades are welcome to participate in fun, faith, and fellowship activities. In 2018, the J-Walkers led Kent United Church of Christ in becoming an “Accessible to All” (A2A) congregation in the United Church of Christ. They help set tables and prepare the meal for the third Sunday Community Outreach Meal, and participate in service projects with United Youth Force (UYF) in the fall and spring.

United Youth Force (UYF)

The United Youth Force (UYF) is a youth group ministry with and for high school students. It is open to anyone in that age group! We meet each Sunday from 4:00–6:00 pm during the school year to participate in a diverse array of activities, including service, fellowship, and faith education. The group emphasizes the importance of relationships—to one another, to the church, to the community, and to the Divine—as well as service. We take seriously our call to serve God, one another, and our community. At the beginning of each school year, UYF participates in an opening lock-in, and a winter retreat each January. In August 2012, UYF began a third Sunday Community Outreach Meal, which serves a hot meal to members of the Kent community. The meal now involves all generations of the church to help cook, serve, and clean up the meal each month.
