Meet the UPCI Youth Ministries

Posted by: in Ministry Spotlights, Rachel Skirvin on January 13th

 

Hi there! If you are new here, allow us to introduce ourselves. If you have been around awhile, welcome back.

The Youth Ministries department is a unit of the United Pentecostal Church International that facilitates all things youth and young adult related. Here are some of the various ministries offered. There is something for everyone that can help change your life, the community, and the world! Find your place today.

Apostolic Youth Corps (AYC) will facilitate the pairing of North American, ministry-minded, Pentecostal youth with global destinations that need and desire evangelism assistance. AYC candidates will assist Global Missionaries, North American Missionaries, and work in cooperation with Global Campus Ministry, Campus Ministry International, Compassion Services International, and Metro Evangelism. For information about current trips visit the Apostolic Youth Corps website.

Campus Ministry International (CMI) was formed to enable and encourage local churches to effectively reach out to the college and university populations in their vicinities with the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is done by a variety of means, including motivating districts and churches to establish and maintain campus evangelism, providing materials and training to aid in the formation of these campus ministries, acting as a clearinghouse for the gathering and distribution of new information, ideas, and materials, and establishing communication and cooperation between campus ministries in our fellowship. Get connected now at the CMI website.

North American Youth Congress (NAYC) is the premier youth conference of the United Pentecostal Church. Thousands of young people attend this meeting and are exposed to inspiring preaching, teaching, singing, and great fellowship! NAYC takes place biennially in a city in North America and is anticipated with much excitement by young people and youth workers of the UPCI. For further details visit the official NAYC website.

Project 7 (P7) is a free resource for students to start Bible Clubs at their High School and Middle School campuses. P7 Clubs are student led and driven and are an opportunity for students to participate in a spiritually inspired, relationship-driven, community-serving project in their school. If you are interested in starting or joining a P7 club make the pledge to be a P7 Missionary!  Find out more on our website!

The UPCI Youth Ministries is proud to sponsor two levels of quizzing. The Intermediate Division is open to 12-14 year olds and the Experienced Division involves 12-18 year-olds. In addition to this, the UPCI Youth Ministries produces several quizzing resources that assist teams in preparing for competitions on the district and national levels. For Bible Quiz Extravaganza, North American Bible Quiz Tournament, and resource information visit the Bible Quizzing website.
