WELCOME TO THE KOINONIA YOUTH MINISTRY!
The Koinonia Youth Ministry believes that youth are not the “future,” they are the right now. We prioritize the spiritual development of youth from 7th-12th grade who desire to deepen their relationship with Christ. We do this by providing several opportunities to gather in community. “Koinonia” is the Greek word for “communion” or “fellowship.” We embody this through the following programming:
- Sunday School and Youth Groups
- Small Groups that meet weekly
- Confirmation for 8th graders
- Attending youth extracurriculars in order to cheer them on
- One-on-one coffee, lunch, and dinner dates
- Hanging out with our neighbors at Preston Taylor Ministries
- A Junior and Senior High mission trip each summer
- A week at the Presbyterian retreat center, Montreat, in Black Mountain, North Carolina
- A robust “Youth Council” – a group of student leaders in our youth ministry
- Church Basketball
- And so much more!
