Youth and Young Adult Team

The Youth and Young Adult Team aims to nurture youth from sixth through twelfth grades, and young adults in their late teens and twenties so that they have a firm sense of God’s abiding love for them exactly as they are. The Team will provide a safe, welcoming, and affirming place for them to worship, study scripture and serve the community with love, share in fellowship, break bread, and pray together. The Team creates and sponsors events in collaboration with other youth-focused ministries including Camp Carew and various college and university ministries within Presbytery bounds. The Team also coordinates and oversees our Presbytery’s cohort in attendance at national PC(USA) conferences including Montreat and Triennium.

Membership is open to all and is not elected or term limited. Members are subject to Presbytery policies, including background checks.
