Youth Ministries seeks to connect youth grades 6th -12th with other Christians to nurture them in their faith, encourage them to share Jesus Christ with non-believers, and help them serve others, thereby glorifying God with all their lives. The ministry takes the whole student into consideration, fostering relationships not only with the students but their families as well, with the hope of the community developing lifelong “family” bonds.
We strive to be a friend, resource, and blessing to our NPC families, cultivating an environment with the ideals of Intergenerational Ministry as our guide. Programming is used as a vehicle and not the destination. The destination is that glorious relationship with Christ our Lord.
Youth begin in the 9:30 a..m. service for worship and then are dismissed to classes upstairs in the Youth Room.
