Youth Ministry at Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church is about young people being called to faithfulness in Christ.

As we go about our ministry, we seek to create a safe place where youth are known, supported and loved with an under-standing of who they are as God’s own. Challenged to grow through education, worship, mission and fellowship, the youth of PHPC reach out to serve others in the church, the community and the world with God’s love.

On Sunday mornings, you will find youth worshipping throughout the congregation with family and friends. Church school classes for 6th, 7th, 8th grade (Confirmation) and 9-10th and 11th-12th grades are staffed by caring adult teachers. Throughout the school year, the youth meet regularly on Sunday nights from 5:30-7:30 PM. During this time, we share a meal, play together and explore our faith in a variety of ways. Middle and High schoolers meet separately and are led by pas-sionate adult advisers. Please check the PHPC youth blog “Back of the Pews” as well as the bulletin, newsletter, and Facebook for regular and special youth activities.

Serving is a significant part of our lives together. The High Schoolers provide breakfast to the homeless at First Presby-terian in downtown Atlanta whenever there is a fifth Sun-day while The Middle Schoolers help with Family Promise program. Both groups also serve at Clifton Sanctuary Minis-tries and do other mission work in the Duluth-Atlanta area.

Special events & Summer Activities are fun opportuni-ties for fellowship and to build relationships with God and others. Numerous activities occur year-round and summer events include the Montreat Youth Conference and Interna-tional Mission Trip for HS; and the “Mission Possible” Mis-sion Trip for MS.
