Welcome to Youth Ministry!

At Good News First Haitian Church, our youth ministry is young but filled with passion, energy, and a desire to grow in Christ. We are building a strong foundation where young people can deepen their faith, discover their God-given purpose, and form meaningful connections with one another. Through engaging Bible studies, dynamic worship, and fun fellowship activities, we are creating a space where youth can feel supported, encouraged, and empowered to live out their faith in everyday life. Though we are still growing, our vision is clear—to raise up a generation of believers who are strong in their walk with God and bold in sharing His love.

As our youth ministry continues to evolve, we are committed to expanding opportunities for spiritual growth, leadership development, and community impact. We are actively working to introduce more mentorship programs, outreach initiatives, and mission opportunities that will help our young people serve others while strengthening their own faith. We believe that, even in its early stages, this ministry has the potential to make a lasting impact on the lives of our youth and the future of our church. We invite all young people to be a part of this exciting journey, growing together in Christ and shaping the future of our faith community.

Heaven makes space for every child and so do we.

At Good News First Haitian Church, we are committed to ensuring that every child feels welcomed, valued, and supported. For some children, we have the privilege of going the extra mile to create an environment where they can thrive. Through our Breakthrough Ministry, we seek to support neurodiverse and special needs children by working closely with parents and staff to find the best approach for each child’s unique needs.

We offer three different models to provide the best experience:

  • Early Years (Ages 0-6): Inclusion model
  • Elementary (1st – 6th Grade): Inclusion model

We believe our church family is enriched by these children, and we are honored to walk alongside them in God’s purpose for their lives. If you would like more information or to let us know your child will be joining us, please email: info@goodnewsfirsthaitian.church. We look forward to welcoming them with love and care!
