Youth Ministry
The core purpose of our youth ministry is to guide teenagers in developing a deep faith in Jesus Christ, becoming passionate disciples who serve others and impact their communities positively.
It fosters their personal relationship with God, empowers them to use their gifts for His glory, and prepares them to be future leaders who live out their faith.
This involves intentional efforts to nurture their spiritual and personal growth through discipleship, relationships, and meaningful service opportunities.
