This class is a milestone in the spiritual life of our youth, and is a custom curriculum developed for Sharon Presbyterian.

Leading our Youth

Relationships are king in the youth world and our program thrives through caring adults who support the lives of young people. Each year we look for adults who can commit to a year of spending time with the youth of this church - key to a healthy youth program and a growing, active group of youth. Pray about it, think about it, and contact Martin Pruitt to find out what's involved.
