Youth Ministries

Palma Ceia recognizes the gifts and witness of young people as a vital contribution and important part of the church. For this reason, Palma Ceia is committed to an emphasis on its programs for teenagers. Our group is growing so that we can offer good opportunities to make friends and become leaders.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 NIV
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

The Message
Isn’t that refreshing? Our hope is that you give the Lord your burdens and completely give over your life for Him. Leave anxiety, fear, and life’s pressures for the unbelievers. Peace is His eternal gift for us all!

Put others before yourself and He will bless you. Our mid-high, senior high, and college-age students are in need of additional adult support for Sunday School, small groups, and other special gatherings. Which age group suits you? College small group leaders will help lead a Bible study and then join the group for either social outings or outreaches. Adult volunteers are welcome to help set-up and organize the outreaches for all ages. We also need several volunteers to rotate teaching Sunday-School classes which meet at 10:30 a.m. Materials provided. Pray about this special opportunity and then contact Misty at 380-8445.
