Youth & Family Ministries
Surround yourself with the kind of people who love Jesus as much as you do!
You are always welcome to join the Sunday School Team!
Teach kids how to play God’s way. Volunteer to teach Sunday School once a month. Volunteer to be a Sunday School teacher’s helper! No lesson planning is required – unless you want to do so – you will simply be acting as a helper. Adults and confirmed high school students can participate in this great ministry! Adults 18 years and older must have clearances on file with the Director of Faith Formation, Stephanie Derstine at jordandff@ptd.net for more information or if you need help applying for volunteer clearances.
