Youth

 

The Hills Youth Ministry exists to encourage youth to connect with God, to help them grow in their faith, and to challenge them to respond to God’s call in the community and the world.  Youth activities are for all youth ages 6th through 12th grade to grow in their faith in Jesus Christ and in relationship with one another.  In addition to activities planned just for them, our youth are encouraged to be active participants in church life through committees, serving in worship, and helping with our children’s ministry programs.  Please contact Anne Horvath, Director of Youth Ministries, at [email protected] at any time to learn more!
