Youth

We have an active and vibrant youth ministry program that welcomes young people in 7th through 12th grades. Our students enjoy weekly fellowship activities, mission projects and trips, service opportunities, and more as they grow in faith together. We invite all youth to join us!

Check out our new Devotionals Page for helpful devotional resources with readings and activities specifically developed for teens and their friends and families.

Youth Group

Youth Day of Service

Our Youth Ministry Mission Our church family is committed to fostering a strong sense of community among our youth, helping them develop the hope and courage they need as they transition into adulthood. We believe in nurturing independent thinkers.

Leadership Opportunities Our teens play vital roles in church leadership and serve as an energetic part of our church family. Many participate alongside adults on committees and commissions, including elder and deacon boards, where their voices are valued and respected.

Community Service Focus Community service is fundamental to our mission of helping others. We work with our youth to build their confidence and teamwork skills so they can achieve meaningful goals together. Recent examples include:

  • Securing financial assistance for mission trips
  • Building homes with Habitat for Humanity
  • Volunteering in disaster relief and rebuilding projects

Youth Group meetings provide a time for sharing daily joys and concerns through prayer, games, music, and other engaging activities. We meet Wednesdays in the Education Building from October through May.
