Youth
Mission Statement:
Second Presbyterian Church Youth Ministry exists to create an environment of love and acceptance where youth (Grades 6–12) learn, worship, fellowship, and serve together, and a spiritual foundation is developed that will inspire them to lead a life-long commitment with Christ.
Core Values:
- 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.
