The youth ministry is designed to utilize three different spheres - social activity, mission endeavors, and spiritual growth.

Social Activity: First and foremost, the program is designed to be fun. We seek for the youth a joyous time together where they are able to learn social skills, develop relationships, and polish their ethics. For social recreation, the youth go backpacking, camping, cycling, and rafting.

Mission Endeavors: We also involve the youth in monthly mission activities where they reach beyond ethnic and class boundaries. On a regular basis, they feed the homeless, support an afro-centric drug rehabilitation program, make pastoral visits to people in the hospital, and support those who are homebound. They have also helped build a porch and playground for a children's center in Florida, and have built a two-story room addition for a family in Southeastern Kentucky.

Spiritual Growth: Central to our reason of relationship, our youth ministry is designed to nourish faith development through church school, Wednesday night scriptural discussions, and Sunday night "More." The youth also participate in retreats that are exclusively spiritual, and plans are being made for a spiritual pilgrimage to the ancient Iona Abbey in Scotland. The Youth Committee works with the Minister to Students in an effort to make our youth ministry a well rounded reflection of the life of Christ.
