Maurice and Samantha McDavid

Youth, the vibrant force of any organization, church family, and nation. Youth are important to the United Pentecostal Church of DeKalb.  They are integregated in just about every program.  Led by Asst Pastor Maurice McDavid, they take part in many weekly activities: Youth prayer, Comfort Care services, Bible Quizzing, Worship services.  Through out the year, special activities, fund raising, and events are planned: Youth convention, seasonal parties, SFC relay, special outings and trips like National Youth Convention, Camps, Banquets, and youth services and revivals.

It makes for a busy calendar, and a team approach is needed for the various events.
