Youth Ministries

The Youth Ministry calls young people as disciples of Jesus Christ, to respond to the needs and interest of young people; to work together with adults in partnership; to be connected to the whole church, community, and world; and to include all young people, reaching out and inviting them to belong to the community of faith.

For more information, contact the Director of Ministry to Youth and Their Families, John Ryan, at 404.495.8456.

 

Throughout the year the youth participate in various mission events in Atlanta and around the country. To participate in off-site activities, each youth must complete and return to the church office the Medical Release Form (PDF).
