Our Mission
The Youth Ministry of Fourth Church exists to establish young believers from 6th to 12th grade in their Christian faith, that they might love God, know his Word, and serve him. We build a biblical foundation for students to become lifelong disciples of Christ. We do this through faithful Scripture teaching, intentional small group relationships, and community fellowship in many ways throughout the year.
