If you are in middle school (grades 6-8), then this is the group for you. Regular meetings are at 5:00 P.M. on Sunday nights at the church. The Junior Highs and Senior Highs meet together on Wednesdays at 6:00. Other outing opportunities occur at least once a month including activities like lock-ins, ice skating, scavenger hunts, youth rallies and service projects.
The Junior High group participates in weekend retreats in the spring and in the fall at Camp John Speer in the mountains near Greenville, TN.
Service projects include a special project each December. They raise money through various fund raisers and use the money to go shopping for the Angel Tree...buying Christmas gifts for under-privileged children.
They try to take an overnight trip for fun each year. They have been to Six Flags over Georgia an various other places.
This group meets every Sunday night at 7:00 P.M. at the church. The Junior Highs and Senior Highs meet together on Wednesdays at 6:00. Activities such as lock-ins, dining out, parties, youth rallies and service projects are scheduled at least once a month.

This group attends summer camp for one week in July at Camp Chilhowee in Seymour, TN sponsored by the Presbytery of East Tennessee.
The Cumberland Presbyterian Youth Conference (C.P.Y.C) is also held in the month of July at Camp NaCoMe in Centerville, Tennessee for one week. The Presbyterian Youth Triennium is held at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana for all youth aged 15-19.
This camping experience is for one week and is also in the month of July. This camping opportunity is offered every three years, with the last one being in 2004. This camp is attended by youth from the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in America, the Presbyterian Church of Canada and the Presbyterian USA Church. The last camp, in 2001, served approximately 6000 youth!
The Senior High Youth Group takes a work trip to the place of their choice on a regular basis. In the past, we have done trips to the Cumberland Presbyterian Children's Home in Denton, Texas and to Bethel College in McKenzie, Tennessee. Our youth group raises the necessary funds for these trips through various fund raisers such as meals at the church, selling pizzas and participating in work days.
This organization is known as the LLL Club which stands for "Living Longer and Loving It". The purpose of the group is to provide opportunities for fellowship and personal growth via programs, lunch, trips and to be of service to the church as needed.
Membership consists of members and friends of members of the Beaver Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Church who have celebrated approximately 50 birthdays or more.
The LLL meets on the second Wednesday of each month except June, July, and August. The program begins at 11:00 a.m. and is followed by lunch.
This group meets for informal fellowship time once a month. The group meets at Shoney's near the Interstate on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m.
