YOUTH
— Belonging. Believing. Becoming.
Our Youth Ministry is unique. Students ages 6th to 12th grade experience a God Centered Model for Spiritual Transformation. Through this, our students learn how to connect with God, one another, and within their own hearts. We strive to help each student find their place as we walk alongside them in their faith journey. Questions? Contact Youth Minister Chris Hughes,
This is my first Sunday attending Christ Church. Where do the youth meet?
Youth meet in the Youth Center, located inside Entrance 9 (back of the church).
What security is there for my child?
All youth check-in through our secure system located at the entrance of the Youth Center. All leaders and volunteers undergo background and reference checks as well as emergency and care training through our Safe Sanctuaries program.
What if my child has a disability?
Our leaders are trained to incorporate children of all abilities at every level of church involvement. We work with families to suit the needs of each child.
Every participating youth will need a Youth Ministry Family Information Form on file along with an insurance card. Send the form and a copy of your insurance card to Chris Hughes or bring them to church in a sealed envelope.
