Welcome to the UPPER ROOM YOUTH MINISTRY.  Our purpose is to transform students into disciples using 3 primary principles: Unite, Develop, Serve.

Unite

We believe that life change happens through the power of the gospel. We also believe that relationships are an opportunity to share the gospel. It is our aim to unite students through Christ-centered relationships with other students and with caring adults who will encourage them in their relationship with Christ.

Develop

In all ways — intellectually, physically and spiritually — this can be an exciting time of development for students. It is our hope to generate followers of Jesus by deepening their knowledge of God through Bible study, memorization and prayer.

Serve

Fighting the cultural obsession of personal entitlement and consumer consumption, we desire to have students who are more concerned with giving than getting and more focused on serving than being served.
