Youth Ministries
Mission Statement
The youth ministries at Wellshire exist to be a place where students feel safe to explore their faith in Jesus Christ, participate in God’s mission for the world, and develop authentic relationships with their peers, their leaders, and our Triune God.

What We Believe
Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race is contrary to the Word of God. God’s love extends equally to ALL people.
Students and Race
At Wellshire Presbyterian Church, we are committed to raising a generation of students who are empathetic and determined participants in God’s mission for the world. As followers of Jesus, students and adults alike are called to pursue justice and equity for all. Wellshire Presbyterian Church follows this call through education and service programs offered to all ages. If you’d like to learn more about what Wellshire Youth Ministries are doing to raise a generation of people who are committed to pursuing justice and equity for all, contact Kiersten Hill.
