Youth Ministry Visioning Listening Sessions
Since SCPC is currently experiencing a change in youth leadership, we feel this is a good time to look into the future of our Youth (Middle and Sr High) Ministry programs.
With these questions in mind, the Youth Ministry Visioning Committee has been asked to gather information from youth, parents and the entire congregation to better understand the needs and desires of this important ministry. We will be offering “listening” sessions and are inviting all of you to join us as we look forward.
Please join us - click here to use the Sign Up Genius or call the office at 814-238-2422 to let us know when you can attend.
