Youth Ministry
The Youth Ministry at United Church of Chapel Hill is a collaborative effort by many dedicated people to provide diverse and well balanced programs in worship, education, music, drama, service, and fellowship. The primary intentions of the youth ministry program are:
- To call young people to be disciples of Christ.
- To respond to the needs and the interests of young people.
- To work together, youth and adults, in partnership.
- To be connected to the whole church, community, and the world.
- To include all young people, reaching out and inviting them to belong to the community of faith.
