Youth Ministry
Youth Ministries includes those in
grades 6 - 12, and many of our congregations have terrific youth programs for students
in their teen years. This is a time of questioning and becoming, as young
people engage the big questions of life and learn how to navigate a world of
adult decisions and grown-up relationships. Each congregation has a different
approach to youth ministries, but each one cares deeply for its teen members. Find

people grow in the love of themselves, others, and Jesus Christ.
