how do we do this?

Relationship - Our desire isn’t to disconnect students from the main congregation at North Mountain to a youth ministry “island”, but rather to ensure students are considered and treated as essential members of the church community. R/Youth is a spiritual support for parents/families and a joyful encouragement for all RNM members regardless of their season or position in life.

We do this through Sunday gatherings, Camps, Fun Events, and In-Between Spaces (i.e. graduations, sporting events, grabbing burgers at McDonald’s, etc).

Serving - Students aren’t preparing to be the Church someday — they are the Church today! This means that we will prioritize being the hands and feet of God by displaying & embodying the love of Jesus through serving others.

We do this through working alongside our Local ministry to serve ministry partners (through clean-up days, serving meals, childcare, etc) going on Mission Trips (both local and across the border) and within our own walls (by preparing communion, serving the R/Kids ministry, etc).

Discipleship - We view discipleship as collaborative – our aim is to come alongside parents/families by providing tools and resources, while offering specific spaces that will supplement a student’s walk with Jesus.

We do this through Sunday gatherings, classes, and one-on-one mentorship.
