Youth Ministries
We believe we have a special calling to teach Christ's love to our children and youth. Our young people are not the future of our church - they are here now! We believe that God has a special love for the young adults in our community as they enter the most important decision-making period of their lives, and we hope to enrich their lives with the knowledge of God's strength, love and encouragement.
Youth in grades 7-12 worship with the adults, and have the full opportunity to participate as adults in worship ministries.

Nativity's Youth Group for Grades 7-12 had a fabulous Mission Possible Week this summer! Together, the young people served others through various projects in our local area, from cooking pancakes for the homeless, to rehabilitating an apartment complex for families at risk of homelessness, to helping out at St. Andrew's Children's Clinic. On Sunday, June 7, at the 10:00 a.m. service, the congregation got to hear some of their stories and see a slide show.
