LOPC’s Youth Ministry seeks to love, guide, and empower youth to grow in faith and serve as followers of Christ.

However you come, you are welcome. We recognize and celebrate every child of God; including all races, cultures, educations, economic backgrounds, genders, sexualities, abilities, personalities, perspectives, and beliefs…so that we may grasp together how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.

Youth Programs at LOPC

We provide a welcoming, safe, and supportive environment for youth to gather and exchange ideas, explore their faith, and practice what it means to live as a follower of Christ. Each youth program is designed to encourage and challenge youth to grow in relationship with God.

We encourage youth to discover their unique God-given identity, passions, and gifts. We believe youth are each capable of significant contributions to their communities. Youth are encouraged to contribute by participating in service-learning opportunities, student leadership programs, and leading the intergenerational Church community alongside adult leaders in a variety of ways according to their unique gifts.

Our programs connect youth with adult volunteers and older student advisors who care deeply about them. These advisors seek to know, value, affirm, and love youth with the love of God.
