Youth Ministry
A Christ-Centered Community for 6th-12th Grade
Montclair Community Church's Youth Ministry exists to be a
Christ-centered community of youth.
In a world where countless voices try to define our students' identities, our ministry strives to be a place where they can discover Christ-centered friendships, mentorship, pastoral care, community, and, most importantly, who they are in Christ.

- Supports and encourages each other through life's challenges
- Helps us learn about and use our spiritual gifts
- Builds up our faith through prayer and accountability
- Is genuinely fun and filled with joy and laughter
- Fosters authentic love and acceptance
