Youth Ministry
A place to grow...
A place for students to belong, grow in faith, and build meaningful friendships as they follow Jesus together. At Grace Presbyterian, our Youth Ministry is designed for ages 13–18, with engaging gatherings, teaching, and opportunities to connect in a welcoming community. We would love to have you join us.

Youth Bible Study
Every Sunday, our youth director Chris Hill leads a youth Bible study, giving youth the opportunity to grow deeper in their faith, ask honest questions, and build meaningful friendships through Bible study, discussion, and community together. Each gathering encourages youth to explore God’s Word, strengthen their relationship with Christ, and support one another in everyday life and faith.

Summer Camp at Calvin Crest
Every year in July, our high school youth get the oppurtunity to go to summer camp at Calvin Crest in Oakhurst, California, a Christ-centered camp experience. Surrounded by the beauty of the sequoias and immersed in fun, campers spend the week making friends, enjoying outdoor adventures, and growing in their faith through worship, Bible teaching, and unforgettable campfire moments.
Grace Presbyterian Church is also blessed to occasionally help sponsor transportation to and from camp for student campers, making these experiences even more accessible for families. Registration for all camp opportunities is completed directly through the Calvin Crest website.
Next Calvin Crest session starts July 2026
Youth Mystery Trip
Each summer, our youth have the opportunity to travel to a surprise destination somewhere in the United States on a five-day adventure filled with fun, faith, and friendship. From exciting activities and new experiences to meaningful moments together, the Mystery Trip is a memorable week of connection, growth, and unforgettable memories!

Youth Mission Trip
Each year, our youth travel to Zephyr Point Conference Center for a meaningful week of service, friendship, and spiritual growth. Students work together on hands-on building projects, learning to use tools and help construct and improve spaces around the camp under caring guidance and supervision. Through worship, teamwork, devotionals, and shared experiences, youth deepen their faith.
Youth College Trip
High school juniors and seniors are invited on a multi-day journey across the Western United States to explore different universities and experience college life firsthand. Students will tour campuses, meet admissions staff, and learn how to navigate the college process with confidence. Along the way, they will explore opportunities for scholarships, financial aid, and future academic paths.
