PGYM is committed to creating a vibrant community where our youth population is loved by caring adults, known individually, and discipled through mentorship in their faith journey. With God’s presence and power, the guidance of leadership, the dedicated service of volunteers, the cooperation of parents, and the participation of our youth, we aim to be a community where everyone can experience the fullness of life in Christ, journeying together as we grow in love, knowledge, and discipleship.
Our ministry emphasizes the unconditional love of Christ, which we seek to embody in all our interactions. We aim to create a welcoming atmosphere where people can experience the transformative power of love, fostering deep connections that reflect the heart of God.
We believe that every person is uniquely created by God and deserves to be recognized and valued within our community. We strive to foster an environment where individuals can share their stories, experiences, and gifts, ensuring that everyone feels seen and heard.
We are dedicated to guiding individuals in their spiritual growth through intentional discipleship. Our ministry provides opportunities for learning, mentorship, and service, equipping each person to deepen their relationship with Christ and to live out their faith in meaningful ways.
Our youth ministry coordinators at PGYM work closely together to ensure that children feel loved, known, and nurtured in their faith journey. Their collaboration creates a unified effort to support and guide the youth across both locations, fostering a nurturing environment where every child can grow spiritually and feel connected to their faith community.
