Our
Youth Ministry is divided into two age
groups: the Kids for Christ
consisting of students in the 3rd - 6th
grade and the Upper Room Teen Ministry
consisting of teens and students in the 7th
- 12th grades. The purpose of our youth
ministry is to equip our
students to hear God’s call to
ministry, reach out to
unbelieving students and bring them into a
community that praises
God’s Holy name.
To fulfill our purpose we:
Have weekly Bible classes
on Sundays and Wednesdays in order to
equip our students from the Bible
about the LORD’s redemptive power and how
the messages in the stories, letters,
prophecies and revelations apply to their
lives today. Opportunities are provided for
our students and teens to the action love
Jesus has called his followers to have in ministry. We reach
out and create opportunities for our
students and their friends to hear the Good
News of Jesus Christ. Students and teens are
encouraged to make time each week for
worship and praise not only at
“church” but in the way they live their
lives. Finally the Kids for Christ and Upper
Room Teen Ministry’s are communities
where teens and students are open and free
to be who they are created to be.
