Children and Youth Engagement Ministries

Today, children and youth ministries are comprised of Gen Z/iGen and the youngest, Gen Alpha. Each of these groups have lived through different domestic and global events that have shaped the way they see the world. While some will never understand it, technology, social media, social justice movements and sustainability are of utmost importance to these generations and are important mediums to exercise and express their faith.

As Minister for Children & Youth Engagement, I believe it is our mission to equip these emerging young people to lead boldly and prophetically using every tool at their disposal. Their faith is the same as that of our parents, but the ways they will communicate it will look radically different. By building faithful communities, we can empower the next generation and build a more just world for those to come.

-Rev. Trayce L. Potter
