Youth Ministry

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. Still not too late to sign up!" - Jason Pridmore Contact Jason with questions by phone at 714-809-5065 or email: jason@palmcitypres.org.

What Our Youth Are Learning


God said, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Was he telling the truth? In The Case for Faith, Lee Strobel turns his journalistic skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief—six "heart barriers" to faith. This study is for those who may be feeling drawn to Jesus but are faced with difficult questions standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convictions and give them fresh confidence in discussing Christianity with even their most skeptical friends.

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

We began our latest confirmation class on Sunday, September 18 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. The 15-week course will be spread out over the upcoming year (culminating on May 21) and taught by Pastor David Mauldin and Jason Pridmore. 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 will serve 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 was on June 15, 2022. Information about Sun Up/Sun Down 2023 will be posted here in the coming months.

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.


We traveled to Alaska in July 2022, 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. See highlights from our trip by clicking here.
