Children and Youth Ministry


Children and Youth are the future of Gospel Temple M.B. Church. The emphasis placed upon the ministry can be seen on Sunday mornings, shown by all members, and deemed vital to our church. We have been blessed with many active children and youth who are very motivated about growing in and expressing their faith in Jesus Christ.

The Children and Youth Ministry is comprised of the following sub-ministries: The Praise Team ministry, Children and Youth Music Ministry, ACT ministry, and Children’s Church/Fellowship Ministry.

The present leaders of the Youth Ministry are Ebony Hall and Yurlanda Ewing. Ashley Swannigan serves as the Praise Team Leader. Veronica Swannigan serves as Sunday School Superintendent and Louise Carney serves as the ACT ministry leader. Additional Members serve in the ministry as needed.

Our mission is to foster and develop a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. By Providing sound teachings of Jesus Christ through faith based teachings and guidance.

The Purpose of the Children and Youth Ministry is to strive to draw our children and youth to responsible participation in church, communities and in life, through missions and outreach to foster personal and spiritual growth. Equipping our youth with knowledge and skills to nurture positive values to help them apply faith to daily life experiences.

Current activities include opportunities to attend weekly Sunday School, 1ST Saturday Youth Fellowship, Monthly ACT ministry sessions, and monthly activities deemed age appropriate for the children and youth of Gospel Temple. We also encourage community stakeholders, leaders, children and families to participate in all open activities.
