youth ministries
our mission
  • CONNECT TEENAGERS with adults who will affirm their giftedness and belovedness in Christ, as well as encourage their spiritual development.
  • CHALLENGE TEENAGERS to develop spiritual leadership skills and to take an active role in guiding and planning youth ministry events and programs.
  • CARE FOR TEENAGERS by offering a “sanctuary” in which they can practice genuine spirituality, learn from the Scriptures, develop lasting friendships, and commit to a life of service.

service & missions projects

Jesus calls us to give ourselves away to those in need. We do this through regular service projects in our community, as well as through an annual senior high missions trip.

In 2004 we went to inner-city Philadelphia and ran a week-long VBS program for neighborhood children, and did some painting and light construction work on the church and community center facilities.

In 2005 we traveled to rural Kentucky and West Virginia to SWAP where we did various home renovation projects for the poor in Appalachia.

In 2006 we went to Zambia! A group of 7 senior high youth and 5 chaperones went to Macha Hospital, in Zambia. We worked with Dr. John & Esther Spurrier and did some light maintenance and renovation type work, plus a kids Bible School camp.
special events & retreats
Our youth ministries calendar is packed with tons of other unique activities -- everything from backpacking trips, a night at the orchestra to our annual (and incredibly messy!) Jell-O® Bowl.
