John – Maples Memorial

After discovering the mission/purpose of our youth ministry, CYMT and their students are providing additional stability, consistency and creativity.  Our goal is to have sustainable youth ministry for generations to come!  With CYMT’s investment, we are confident that sustainability is being achieved. The dialogue between CYMT, youth volunteer leaders and the senior pastor is a strength of CYMT.  The coaching for CYMT students and local church volunteers/staff is also very helpful. We are grateful for CYMT!
