Welcome to University Christian Church's Student Ministry!

We exist to encourage, challenge and spread the gospel through the Youth of Los Angeles. 

This ministry department consists of 7th graders all the way up to 12th grade. The culture we live in is very difficult to remain pure and live for God. Therefore, as parents and leaders in the Church, we see it fit to challenge the youth and to change their future for Christ.

No one has to allow the culture we live in to change us, rather lets influence it for CHRIST. Romans 12:1-2 says "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. DO NOT be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." We believe that God's Word changes and transforms us. No matter the age, this is the power and calling of the Christian life.

*Our Youth meeting time is Sunday mornings at 11:15. We meet in the main sanctuary with the adults then break off after worship and communion for a deep, contemporary and applicable lesson for students. 

*We also offer a mid-week. This takes place Wednesday nights from 7:00-8:40. During the mid-week we start out with a fun game that gets everyone comfortable and excited to worship. After an exciting game, we look to God and have a great time in contemporary worship. Then I close with a Biblically based lesson, and we then hang and talk afterward for about 15 minutes. This is a great opportunity to come and allow the students to get their minds off of school and focus on God and take the teachings throughout the rest of their week.  Also, it is a chance for students to invite their friends and share the Good News of Jesus with them. 2 Timothy 4:12 "Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
