Youth
Youth Ministry Programs
At White Memorial, we have a goal to bring young people together in a life of faith, action and fellowship, and address spiritual, emotional, and social needs unique to youth. We want to create a safe and nurturing space for teenagers to gather together and share their joys and concerns with each other and with caring adults.
Our desire is that everyone involved with this ministry might encounter Christ so that all of us may grow in fellowship together and in discipleship to God.
Youth Ministry Values
Welcoming - Practicing radical hospitality to engage youth in relationships
Relevant - Meeting youth where they are in their lives, in their language, modeling Christian living
Integrated into the Life of the Church - Youth are visible, excited participants alongside their church family in a lifelong journey of faith
Youth Fundraiser - Community Table
Community Table is the Youth Ministry Fundraiser. All families and friends are invited. The menu will be a delicious faire of brisket, wonderful sides and an amazing dessert. The money raised at the dinner will go to support the trips our youth attend in the summer: HS Appalachia Service Project (ASP), MS Asheville Youth Mission, HS Montreat and MS Massanetta. Bon Appetit, y'all.
It is just a drive down McDonald Lane.

21-Day Youth, Race, Faith and Moore
White Memorial Youth Ministry is proud to present, in partnership with other PC(USA) churches, the 21-Day Youth, Race, Faith and Moore Challenge, created by author, speaker, and educator, Dr. Eddie Moore Jr. This challenge consists of articles, podcasts, videos, and more, that have been intentionally compiled for middle and high school youth. Our hope is that through this challenge youth might further educate themselves and broaden their understanding of power, privilege, supremacy, oppression, and equity. Pick a resource each day to read, listen, watch, or do, and be present to where it takes you.
