Youth

The UCC Youth Ministry exists to provide a safe place where teens can come together, faith can grow, and lives can be molded in the image of Christ.

God has called all believers, even teens, to put faith into action demonstrating to the rest of the world what a life molded by Christ looks like. We want teens to be totally sold out for Him as we go out into the world, spreading the good news and joy of Jesus through our lives. Whether at school, home, church, hanging out with friends or in extracurricular activities, we want Jesus to shine brightly through us and be well represented in our lives.

This is not an easy task. That is when our group is most important. When life is difficult or emotions are low, our group is there for encouragement, support, motivation and love. We don’t expect perfection in life, but instead more of a continual realignment of one’s life with Jesus. So, come join us as we learn to be disciples together.
