Welcome to United City Youth! This page is your go-to place for everything happening in our youth ministry. Here you’ll find information about Wednesday Nights, Sunday Morning Life Groups, events, mission trips, parent resources, and next steps. Whether you’re a parent looking for details or a student searching for community, our heart is to create an environment where students can belong, grow in their faith, and take their next step with God.
SUNDAY MORNINGS
During the 10:00 am service on Sunday mornings we provide a space for students to connect on a deeper level through Life Groups. During this time, students break into groups based on grade and gender, creating an environment where they can build strong relationships and engage in meaningful discussions. Guided by trusted adult leaders, students dive deeper into God’s Word, ask honest questions, and apply biblical truth to their everyday lives. Sunday mornings are designed to help students grow spiritually while feeling known, supported, and encouraged
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
On Wednesday nights from 6:30–8:00 PM, middle school and high school students come together for a night designed just for them. Students experience dynamic worship, relevant teaching, and plenty of time to connect, have fun, and build lasting friendships. Wednesday nights are a place where students can belong, grow spiritually, and enjoy authentic community.
UC GIRLS MINISTRY
Our Girls Ministry at United City exists to help girls feel seen, loved, and valued. Led by our Girls Minister Savannia Wade, we create a welcoming environment where girls can build real community and grow in their faith through intentional discipleship. Throughout the year, girls gather for Bible studies and special events designed just for them. Check out our Youth Events page to find the next Girls Event! We love partnering with parents and would be honored to walk alongside your student as she gets connected.Feel free to reach out with questions.
WHO WE ARE/ WHY WE EXIST
We are the youth of United City Church. Not living to be the next generation, but the now generation. We believe that relationships with Jesus and people are over everything. We don’t want to just be a youth ministry. We want to be a young, vibrant expression of life found in Jesus! No matter what school you are from, what your church background is, or where you are on your spiritual journey, we believe Jesus has a purpose for your life.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Student Leadership Team
Student Leadership Team (SLT) is designed for middle and high school students who want to grow as leaders, deepen their faith, and make a real impact in our church and community. Through hands-on serving, intentional discipleship, and leadership development, SLT equips students to lead with character, humility, and confidence. This team is more than a role, it’s a commitment to live out your faith, influence others for good, and become the leader God is shaping you to be.
How to Join: Applications are currently closed, check back next semester!
UCY Next Steps
At United City, we believe that everyone has a next step, no matter where they are in their faith journey. Our Next Steps page is designed to help students and families take meaningful steps forward, whether that includes submitting a prayer request, learning more about salvation, or taking the step of baptism. Our team is honored to walk alongside students as they explore their faith, ask questions, and respond to what God is doing in their lives.
Camp UCY
United City Students gather in camps and conferences throughout the year with the purpose of unpacking, discussing and applying biblical truth. Our desire is to see UCY Camps be a massive extension of our ongoing ministry as students invite their peers to be part! Click here for more information.
UCY Mission Trips
Mission trips are a powerful way for students to grow in their faith while serving others and experiencing God beyond their everyday environment. Each year, students have opportunities to participate in trips designed to stretch their faith, build compassion, and develop a heart for service.
This year, we are offering three mission trips: a High School Spring Break trip to Puerto Rico, a Middle School Spring Break trip to Colorado, and a High School Summer trip to Egypt. These trips are thoughtfully planned and led by trained leaders with a focus on safety, spiritual growth, and meaningful service. Applications for all mission trips are currently closed and will reopen in August for the 2027 trips.
United City Youth Events
Youth events are designed to help students connect in community while deepening their relationship with God. Throughout the year, we host large, recurring events such as Encounter WKND, Dodgeball, Summer Camp, and Paint War, creating fun and meaningful experiences students look forward to year after year. In addition, we offer a variety of smaller events including community nights, girls’ events, and other special gatherings designed to help students build friendships and grow together.
