Youth Ministry

Building Faith Together

The youth ministry at FCUCC is committed to spiritual formation, social justice advocacy, inter-generational ministry, and service to and for marginalized populations living in the Asheville area.

Our Youth Ministry Coordinator, Rev. Andrew Hoots, meets with students weekly through confirmation classes and Bible study.  Other activities can include local service opportunities, retreats, and outings including paintball, visiting the board game café in downtown Asheville, and the occasional Asheville Tourists baseball game.  Youth participate in Laundry Love on the last Sunday of each month.

The main structure of our youth ministry is to have students paired with a trusted adult in order to build a relational connection with that person to journey through life’s challenges and doubts. Doubt is a normal part of the faith journey and can be difficult on students who don’t have a mentor to help foster deeper faith.

All Are Welcome

The youth ministry is open to all students, which means folx of every race, nationality, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ability, ethnic and spiritual background are welcome to become part of our community. When we say “all,” we really mean “all”!

Youth as defined by the United Church of Christ are those persons who are between 13 and 17 years of age. If you, or your student is younger than 13, we invite them to check out the children’s page for more information about what we’re doing with our children’s ministry.
