Youth

2025 Ski Trip

Second Presbyterian Church Youth Ministry exists to create an environment of love and acceptance where youth (Grades 7–12) learn, worship, fellowship, and serve together, and a spiritual foundation is developed that will inspire them to lead a life-long commitment with Christ.

We Are...

Christ-centered
We create opportunities to know Christ and follow His example of love, humility, acceptance and compassion.

Joyful
We create a fun, engaging community where youth experience joy through Christ-centered relationships and service to others.

Faithful
We create consistent, reliable, stable programming that honors our tradition and develops lasting relationships.


Youth Ministry Opportunities

  • Breakfast & Bibles (AKA Sunday School) — Sunday morning gatherings where youth hang out and eat breakfast before diving into God's Word together

  • Mission Opportunities — Mission-focused meetups that make the world better by serving others through learning and/or action
