Balmoral’s youth are a vital and active part of our church community and ministry. Our youth programs are designed to: 
- strengthen each youth’s faith through discussion and study;
- ensure that they have the opportunity to put their faith into action;
- involve them in responsibility for maintaining their programs through a youth council composed of elected junior and senior high representatives, youth leaders, and congregational representatives;
- provide our youth with an exciting mix of fun, fellowship, service and study;
- engage them in ministry and worship opportunities to capitalize on their enthusiasm, creativity, boldness, and joy.
