Youth Ministry
Description of Ministry
The Youth Ministry provides a forum for youth involvement in the church, which includes the Youth Advisory Council (YAC) composed of youth leaders, representatives and adults, who plan and execute youth functions to support the church’s mission. Youth develop leadership skills, team work, program planning, Christian fellowship, and shadow each other to prepare for and model leadership skills.
