KIDS/YOUTH

Raising Up the Next Generation to Fulfill Their Destiny

At Destiny Church, we believe that children and youth aren’t just the future of the Church — they are the Church right now. Our Kids and Youth ministries are dedicated to helping every young person discover who they are in Christ, grow in their relationship with God, and step confidently into their God-given destiny.

Whether your child is in preschool or high school, they’ll find a safe, Spirit-filled environment where they are seen, known, and empowered.

Destiny Kids

(Birth – 5th Grade)
Led by: Dawn McBride | kids@destinycarolina.com

A Safe Place to Grow, Learn, and Laugh

From the moment your child walks in, they’ll experience a fun, loving, and secure space designed just for them. Our Destiny Kids team is committed to creating age-appropriate Bible lessons, dynamic worship, hands-on activities, and lasting friendships.

🟢 What to Expect on Sundays:

  • Check-in opens 15 minutes before service

  • Friendly team members ensure secure drop-off & pick-up

  • Age-specific classrooms (Nursery, Pre-K, Early Elementary, Upper Elementary)

  • Engaging Bible stories, worship, crafts, and games

🧡 We value every child’s uniqueness and intentionally teach them:

  • God made them for a purpose

  • Jesus loves them deeply

  • The Holy Spirit wants to lead them daily

🛡️ Your child’s safety is our top priority.
All volunteers are background-checked, trained, and passionate about ministering to children with excellence and care.

Destiny Youth

(Middle & High School Students)
Led by: Taylor Everard | taylore@destinycarolina.com

Real Faith. Real Friends. Real Life.

Destiny Youth is a movement of students pursuing a life-changing relationship with Jesus — discovering identity, building community, and developing spiritual boldness in a culture that desperately needs it.

🚀 Youth Nights | Wednesdays at 6:00 PM 
Students gather weekly for powerful worship, relevant teaching, and small group discussions that connect faith to real life.

🎯 What Destiny Youth Is All About:

  • Christ-centered friendships

  • Mentorship and discipleship

  • Safe space to ask tough questions

  • Live worship and student-led prayer

  • Monthly hangouts and seasonal events

🎉 Special Events Include:

  • Youth Camp

  • Summer Kickoff & Back-to-School Bash

  • Student Takeover Sundays

  • Community Outreach Projects

  • Bonfires, Game Nights & More!

👣 We’re not raising fans of Jesus. We’re raising followers — leaders — world changers.

Partnering with Parents

We believe discipleship begins at home. That’s why our goal is not just to teach your kids, but to partner with you as you raise them to be strong and committed followers of Christ.
