YOUTH MINISTRIES

Our youth ministries strive to help all students know, love, and serve God deeply through Jesus Christ, and to equip them with the tools to better understand themselves and others. Participants enjoy food and activities, as well as engaging Bible teaching with interactive small groups and prayer times. Youth groups are free—all students and their friends of appropriate ages are welcome! Scroll down to check out our annual events and other special activities.

Confirmation and Baptism Class

"The journey through confirmation or even to baptism is just that, a journey. Over the next many weeks. our hope is to journey with you as you discover and articulate what it is you believe and why you believe it. Pastor David and I will guide you to a biblical, scriptural understanding of the Christian faith. What we expect from you are your questions (even your doubts) and certainly your active participation in coming to terms with your faith. With a serious and heartfelt search, we believe that God will further gift you with faith and grow you into a better understanding of your role in a relationship with Him and others as part of His family. We are excited to venture with you and welcome all of your questions, thoughts, and ideas. This class is open to students in the 8th grade and older looking to confirm their faith or be baptized into the faith. We are meeting various Sundays in September through May from 5:00-6:30 p.m. Dinner is served. - Jason Pridmore Contact Jason with questions by phone at 714-809-5065 or email: jason@palmcitypres.org.

What Our Youth Are Learning

High School Youth Group

There is no shortage of opinions or ideas about what's right, what's wrong, and what's actually best when it comes to the topic of sex. But what if there's more to it than we commonly think? What if sex is meant to be seen as good and powerful because it's actually God's idea? In this four-week series, we'll discuss God's design for sex and then talk about the way technology, confession, and boundaries intersect with the idea of living with "sexual integrity."

ANNUAL EVENTS

Rock The Universe: 

In January, our youth and chaperones travel to Orlando to attend this annual Christian concert held at Universal Orlando. In addition to having fun at the amusement park and enjoying the ongoing concert, they spend the weekend together swimming, playing games, and growing together as a group.

CONFIRMATION CLASS

Our current confirmation classes are held on various Sunday evenings from 5:00-6:30 p.m. The 15-week course is being taught by Pastor David Mauldin and Jason Pridmore and will culminate on May 21. This experience is for any 8th-grade student (or older) who would like to intentionally walk through the foundations of their faith, discover what they believe, and confirm those vows their parents took at their baptism. If you haven't been baptized, this class serves as the necessary instructional guide to your adoption into God's family. 


For more information about our next confirmation class, please email Jason or call/text him at (714) 809-5065.

SUN UP/SUN DOWN

This 18-hour trip takes place in early summer. Youth and chaperones experience the sunrise on the east coast and the sunset on the west coast, with all kinds of fun discovering unique Florida attractions in between the two coasts.


This year's event is on Monday, July 10, 2023. Please sign up by July 7. 

MISSION TRIP

In the summer, a team of chaperones and youth travels for a week of service and growth. The group has traveled to serve in various locations around the continental U.S., and Puerto Rico.


In July 2022, we traveled to Anchorage, Alaska, where we ran North Star Bible Camp for 70 campers. Many campers came to know Jesus; many of our own team members, admittedly having gone to reach others for Jesus, came home having been reached by Jesus themselves.
