Youth Summer Camp

Each summer we take a group of youth to a weeklong Christian Camp experience. There is just something about a week set apart from business as usual to allow for some great things to happen. This special time serves as an introduction to a life-changing encounter with God for some and an opportunity to grow in their established relationships with Him for others. Camp continues to be a wonderful way to have a powerful impact on the Middle and High School students at PPC!

Youth Community

A large part of what we do at PPC involves ministry to youth. We have a unique opportunity to see many of our kids everyday through afterschool program, weekly worship and weekend activities. Being so involved in their lives provides a lot of opportunities for faith experiences. It is through Youth Community, however that we are most intentional about our kids walk with Christ.

 

At Youth Community we live together and learn together. We pray together and serve together. We go on mission trips around the world and in our own neighborhood. Everything we do is intended to draw us closer to Christ and to care for others.
