Christ Interceding Through Youth
(C.I.T.Y.):
Children's & Teens Ministry

Preschool - High School

In our ministry, The C.I.T.Y. Children's & Teens Ministry, we believe that the youth are powerful vessels through whom the Holy Trinity—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit— can intercede in the world today.
Our purpose is to equip, empower, and elevate young people to live out their divine calling through prayer, service, and leadership. We believe that the youth are not just the future of the Church—they are an essential part of its present, actively influencing and impacting the world through God's work.
Key Pillars of the C.I.T.Y.:
Spiritual Growth & Discipleship
Christ-Centered Identity
Intercession & Prayer
Building Godly Relationships
Community Engagement
Leadership Development


"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
Ephesians 2:10

You Belong Here!

Mission
To equip and inspire youth to discover their identity and become vessels of Christ’s intercession—praying, serving, and creating with purpose—as God’s workmanship, called to impact lives through the good works He prepared in advance for them.


You Matter Here!

Vision
To empower a generation of spiritually grounded, purpose-driven youth who reflect Christ’s love, walk in their divine calling, and boldly interceding and transforming their communities through lives of service, leadership, and integrity.

You Can Make an Impact!

Created For Purpose - Called To Impact
Welcome to a space where purpose is discovered, faith is deepened, and impact is inevitable! At the C.I.T.Y. Children & Teens Ministry, we believe that every young person is uniquely created by God for a divine purpose and called to make a powerful difference in the world around them.

Whether you're here to grow spiritually, connect with others, or find your voice and passion, you've come to the right place. Together, we walk, learn, serve, and lead — hand-in-hand, heart-to-heart — as we journey toward the life God designed for us.

You weren’t made to blend in — you were created to stand out and called to leave a mark.

We're Not Babysitting This Generation - We're Building Them!  
When They Come, They Grow! When They Grow, They Go! And When They Go, They Make an Impact!
