Youth

Welcome to APC Youth Ministry!

We offer many opportunities for middle and high school youth to come together and share God’s love through games and laughter, prayer and study, mission and service work. Join us—all are welcome! If you have any questions, please contact Susan Baur.

Faith Quest

—Sunday mornings, 9:30-10:30 am, during the school year
—Middle school and high school youth (grades 6-12) meet in the Youth Lounge. Along with adult leaders, our youth ask tough questions and discover how God’s story connects with their own.

IGNITE (Youth Group)

—Sunday evenings, 5:00-7:00 pm, during the school year
—Middle and high school youth join together each Sunday evening in the youth rooms upstairs for a casual meal and activities such as movie nights, game nights, small group discussions, and mission projects. We roast s’mores over campfires, have intense egg hunts, go bowling and scavenger hunting, travel for corn mazes and river floats and more. Join us and bring a friend!

8th Grade Confirmation

APC’s 8th grade students spend several weeks exploring the history and traditions of the Christian faith, as well as looking within to discern their own special place in the great story of God’s creation, guided by pastors, teachers, and mentors. On Joining Sunday, members of the Confirmation class profess their faith and join the church as full members.

Summer Mission Trips

APC youth enjoy rolling up their sleeves and being God’s hands in the world. Each summer, our youth participate in service trips throughout the southeastern United States, helping those in need. During the summer of 2025, our middle school youth traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina, to spend a week working with various urban charities in partnership with Myers Park Presbyterian’s CROSS Ministries.  Our high school youth attended the Montreat Youth Conference in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina with other youth from across the country.
