Based on tradition and the book of discipline, youth council helps to plan the year’s calendar focusing on worship, mission, faith development and fellowship as well as assist in leading the Sunday evening programs. If you have suggestions and ways you believe your gifts and talents can be used to help connect your peers to God, please fill out the application.

All applications are due by May 15, 2022 at midnight.
