Teens contribute to Central's vitality through active youth groups, choir programs, and mission trips. Youth education takes place in church school classes for middle and high school students and is enhanced by weekly youth fellowship meetings, special trips, outreach projects, and an extensive mission experience each summer. Summer mission experiences for youth alternate between a U.S. mission and a partnership in mission with a site outside the U.S.
