The PBC Youth Ministry is a time for Middle and High-School Students to grow in their walks with God and in their relationships with one another through weekly Youth Group Gatherings (Sunday afternoons from 3-4:30pm), Monthly Activities, and Summer mission-camp opportunities.  For more information about the youth ministry, please contact Pastor Armal.

Monthly Activities

One of our goals is to do regular activities designed to engage students in a variety of fun ways.  In the past, we have had a hayride/bonfire, scavenger hunt, D-Now overnight event, Christmas-themed progressive dinner, bowling, dodgeball and more.  We’ve also served at Madison Fields, a farm that focuses on people with special needs, packed meals for Rise Against Hunger, and have served at the Frederick Rescue Mission.
