Youth
SAPC’s Youth Ministry is all about growing closer to Christ and the primary way we do that is in community:
We fellowship, worship, grow, and pray together.
We also follow the mission of SAPC by encouraging the youth to joyfully know Jesus Christ, love Him more, and serve Him better. We pray that our youth will be lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ, and we provide ways for them to Worship, Connect, Grow, and Serve!
Sunday Morning
9:15a Growth Classes
March 23 – May 4: Lent Relections: A contemplative series on what it means to follow Christ daily.
May 18 – August 10: Summer in the Psalms: Reflecting on selected Psalms of how we worship and glorify God with our lives.
The curriculum is being led by teachers by using the S.O.A.P method. Our goal is to help the youth know how to study Scripture and apply it to their lives, and learn how to pray using the Scriptures.
We will be separated into three different classes.
Middle School – Youth Worship Room
High School Girls – Room 120
High School Guys – Room 122
Sunday Evening
Youth Praise Team 5:00-6:00p

All youth (7th-12th grade) are encouraged to participate in Youth Choir and Games. Learn how to read music, follow choral arrangements, and lead worship through song. This is also a wonderful time for fellowship among the youth as we spend time playing games together.

Other Opportunities
Mission Journeys
Each year, our youth have an opportunity to serve on a week-long mission trip. On our mission journeys, students lead VBS-style back yard Bible clubs, play games, perform skits, and help with crafts and songs. We also do work projects to support people in the communities we serve.
Special Events
Throughout the year we enjoy many fun events including lake parties, football games, late nights, Carowinds, retreats, bowling, board game nights, and out-of-town trips.
