Welcome to Children, Youth, and Family Ministries at Plymouth Church. At Plymouth, we are dedicated to creating a gracious environment wherein seeds of faith can take root and grow. We strive to be faithful companions with young people as they discover their journey of faith. In classrooms, service opportunities and in every context we embrace the truth that all are beloved by God. Together we look and listen for ways to encounter the dynamic and transformative presence of the still speaking God.

We hope to see you soon in order to extend an extravagant welcome to you and yours.
