Our Central Church Youth ministry strives “To be a youth community experiencing true life and acting upon Christ’s call to go out with a message of love and hope.”
Are you interested in being a mentor? Do you know a youth who needs a positive adult in his/her life or just a friend thats not mom or dad?
visit:igniteyouthmentoring.com or shoot them an email to: igniteyouthmentoring(at)gmail.com
or call Todd at 948-3143
We give young people the opportunity to recognize Jesus Christ as their Savior, embrace Him, and develop a faith that is soundly built on the Word of God. Youth are challenged to seek out how God has gifted them in order to reach their peers with encouragement and the Hope of Christ. We seek to provide an environment that accepts everyone in the love of Jesus, so that true growth may occur.
We are always excited to have new volunteers join our youth ministry, If you are interested in learning more about how you can serve our youth, contact Pastor Todd at 943-1143, ext. 127
