Ministry Description:

The Youth Ministry is dedicated to providing a holistic program of youth education and fellowship based on the spiritual principles that will empower young people to develop their potential.

Ministry Objectives:

Spiritual: Our youth curriculum consists of Bible-based, age appropriate lessons; Master Mind prayer; and worship celebrations.

Sunday school is offered during both Sunday services. (8:30 A.M. and 10:50 A.M.)
Nursery and Kindergarten - ages 6 months to 5 years
Children - 1st to 6th grade
Junior High - 7th and 8th grade
High School - 9th to 12th grade

Social: We offer a variety of activities to cultivate, encourage, and strengthen social skills. A few of the events include the Youth Gala, Annual Fashion Show, Annual Graduation Celebration, Youth Adventure In Faith, Harvest Festival, Thanksgiving Pot Luck and a variety of field trips and tours.

Service: We believe that it is important to instill a commitment to service in our youth and help them understand and appreciate the connectedness of all humanity. Service is a means for them to demonstrate their understanding of spiritual law and gratitude for their unlimited potential.
