Our mission is to pursue a growing relationship with God daily as we pray, worship, study, fellowship, serve, and witness. Today's youth need the church especially. They need relationships with believers, both peers and adults. They need to experience Christian fellowship with other believers who encourage them to follow Christ. They need an environment to honestly seek truth, ask hard questions, and explore faith and doubt. They need to be involved in a church that loves them and values them. We provide these things at ARPC. God is at work in our young people, making disciples to serve in God's church and in God's world.
