Youth & Junior Church
” . . . Become as a little child . . . “
Vision statement: Communing with God, building character, realizing dreams
Mission statement: The mission of Founder’s Youth Ministry is to develop spiritually committed leaders through the teaching and practice of Religious Science.
Founder’s welcomes youth of all ages under the direction of Practitioner Sandra Powell and her visionary adult and teen leaders. Through weekly classes that are available on Sundays at 10:00 am, the young people at Founder’s find endless outlets for expressing their true spiritual natures. With a base of positive mentorship, prayer and Science of Mind principles, young people learn to reach their ultimate potentials in creativity, goal setting, confidence, character and self-esteem building, team projects, community outreach and participation in the Founder’s Church services. Spiritual solutions for today’s youth challenges are emphasized in age – group specific programs.
Tomorrow’s adults are cherished and nurtured in our Founder’s Youth of today! Bring your family - Come join our Youth!
