Guiding Principles
At Highland Presbyterian Church our youth programs are designed to nurture a faith that expresses itself in a strong commitment to God known through Jesus Christ through compassion, service, and outreach to others in the world.
How do we do this?
We focus on our relationships with others by addressing social issues, struggling with moral and ethical decisions and taking time to share our faith with others. We also have a great time together!
Our relationship with God is nurtured through regular worship participation and leadership, prayer and scriptural study, and by seeking opportunities for spiritual growth and challenge.
Who do we do it for?
All youth in grades 6 through 12 and their families!
