The youth department of RPC is elevateyouthministry.

In Elevate we believe that God never intended us to be couch potato Christians so we put everything into increasing the quality + quantity of what God’s called us to. We want to raise the standards and push the barriers of nominal youth ministry in the expectation that our extreme God will do some extreme things in our lives & the lives of those we minister to.
