Bi-District Youth

The Mission of the Bi-District Youth Council is to create programs and ministries that:

Help local churches to facilitate, support and empower youth (defined as those in grades 6-12) to grow in faith and their relationships to God through Jesus Christ.
Foster relationships and connect youth ministries and churches to one another, the districts and the Conference.
Support smaller youth ministries and churches with opportunities that involve them in significant mission projects.
Provide large fellowship activities that reach out and unite youth inside and outside of the church.
