2024-25 Youth Ministry Planning Guide
Check out youth ministry opportunities for 2024-25.
The goal of WMPC Youth is to bring young people together in a life of
FAITH,
ACTION,
and INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY.
We seek to address the spiritual, emotional, and social needs unique to youth. We want to create a safe and nurturing space for teenagers and their leaders to gather together and share their celebrations and concerns.
Our desire is that everyone involved with this ministry might encounter Christ so that all of us may grow in fellowship and discipleship.
