Youth Ministry

At Paramount, we believe investing in the next generation is essential to building a strong foundation of faith. Our youth ministry serves young people from birth through 18 years of age, walking alongside families to nurture hearts that love God and lives that reflect Christ.

Our Mission

Our heart for every child and teenager who walks through our doors is simple:

• Grow in Faith: Help our young people grow in their love for the Lord, deepen their knowledge of His Word, and have a heart for reaching the lost and hurting.

• Serve with Purpose: Guide them in practical, meaningful opportunities to serve the Lord in their church, home, and local community.

• Build Godly Community: Provide an encouraging environment where kids can build lasting Christian friendships with peers who share their faith.

Discipleship Programs

In addition to our monthly youth group gatherings, we offer specialized discipleship programs designed to strengthen each child’s walk with Christ through scripture memory, in-depth Bible study, hands-on service projects, and missionary education.

These programs give kids the tools they need to know God's Word, pray for gospel work around the globe, and live out their faith daily.

• Sunbeams (Birth – 3rd Grade)
  A joyful introduction to discipleship for our youngest learners. Through interactive lessons, memory verses, and simple mission stories, Sunbeams helps little ones learn who God is and how much He loves them.

• Girls Missionary Auxiliary / GMA (4th – 12th Grade Girls)
  A dedicated space for young women to dig deeper into Scripture, cultivate a heart for global and local missions, and learn godly leadership. Through study, fellowship, and service projects, GMAs encourages girls to shine as lights for Christ.

• Galileans (4th – 12th Grade Boys)
  A purposeful discipleship group tailored for young men. Galileans focuses on building strong biblical character, fostering practical ministry and service skills, and studying how God uses missionaries to advance the Gospel worldwide.
