How we Serve
One of the greatest challenges our church faces is today is how to engage our youth and young adults in the mission of the church. The Columbia Union has made the retention of our youth and young adults and the engaging them in our mission as one of our top priorities. We are dedicated to encourage and equip our local conference youth directors and to help facilitate collaboration between our conference youth ministries.
