uTurn Youth Ministries

TIME TO MAKE A U-TURN!

Welcome to the exciting world of Youth Ministries here at Faith Center!

Our ministry reaches out to both Sr. High and Jr. High youth. We are committed to seeing young people come into a relationship with Jesus and helping them grow in their Christian faith and live what they have been taught. A variety of opportunities are provided for just that.

WHAT IS U-TURN? - U-Turn is a program that was developed to encourage teenagers today to take a turn from the ordinary, to the extraordinary . . .

U-Turn meets Tuesday nights from 6:00-8:00 p.m. here at Faith Center.

Not only are there lots of people, but there is an arcade with free games, a café with great food, basketball and skateboard ramps! It is a great time to meet new people and hang out with friends!

It is our desire to provide a safe place for teens to gather together, hear a positive message, and respond to the purpose God has for their lives. Our U-Turn program includes a service. The service is from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. The service features a live band and high energy songs!

We then have a speaker who shares a simple gospel message in a way that is real to teenagers today. Every evening ends with prayer opportunities for the youth.

Since the beginning of the U-Turn Program, many teens have made the decision for Christ!

 
Children's Ministries

At Faith Center we're investing in children's lives by loving them unconditionally, connecting them to others and giving them in opportunity to begin a relationship with Jesus! We have strived to create a fun and exciting atmosphere in our children's areas to meet the needs of all children 6th grade and under.

We hope you find this site helpful in answering any questions you may have regarding our Children's Ministries at Faith Center.

Each of our Nursery and Children's Ministry workers have been carefully screened and fingerprinted to ensure the proper safety of your child.

Nursery Facilities

(For Babies from Birth to 24 months)

Our nursery at Faith Center provides a safe, loving environment for your baby while you enjoy the service. In case you are needed during the service, vibrating pagers are given out as you sign your child into the Nursery.  The Nursery provides care for babies during all weekend services.

Active Baby Room

This room is for nursing mothers and for those mothers that have babies that are a bit restless sitting in the sanctuary. Mothers can stay with their baby in the room, and still observe and hear the service.

Saturday Nights at 6:30 p.m.

A Note from the Children's Pastor

The Children's Department at Faith Center exists to teach our children God's truth in a way that is creative and exciting. We have a wonderful team of people who enjoy teaching children. They have a passion to help bring healing and hope to our young people. On behalf of the entire Children's Ministry staff, we welcome the opportunity to serve you and your children.
