Attention all Golfers!
Support our Youth Ministry – The Youth Mission Golf Outing is Back!
Since 1994, the church has sponsored a charity golf tournament to raise monies for the Sunday School and other youth activities. COVID unfortunately preempted the event for 6 years, but now like our church, We are back!
Monies raised will assist our children in the Sunday School by providing quality youth programs and services that enhance their church experience which are a vital part of their overall youth development initiatives.
This year the outing will take place on Saturday, August 22, 2026 at the Farmington Hills Golf course located at 37777 West 11 Mile Road in Farmington Hills, MI. Registration begins at 7a.m., with an 8a.m. shot gun start.
Cost is $150 per golfer, with Hole sponsorships at different levels beginning at $250, next level Silver at $500, Gold $1000 and Platinum at $2,500.
There will be dinner and a program beginning at 1:30p.m. or immediately at conclusion of play. Cost of just attending the dinner is $35.00. Raffles with prizes.
Please come out and support this activity, have some fun and help our children’s Sunday School activities and youth ministry.
Tickets can be purchased by sending checks or money orders to Plymouth United Church of Christ Golf Committee.
