Essential Ministries

We love children! Your kids will not want to miss all that our children’s ministries offer. In a safe and controlled environment, your children will laugh, make new friends, and learn about the love of God in age-appropriate settings. We offer Nursery for our littlest family members every service. On Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings, older kids get to enjoy either classes or a Kids Church experience. Stop by the Kids Check-in station for more details.
Nursery (up to 24 months old)
Sunday School Classes (ages 2-11)
Awana Puggles (ages 2-3)
Awana Cubbies (ages 4-5)

We also have a New Moms’ Room located near the nursery for mothers who need a calm, quiet, private space to enjoy service while feeding or calming an upset child. A live audio feed to the service is also provided. For your convenience, changing stations are available in every restroom.

Our Youth Ministry serves junior high and high school students. Occasionally, we hold classes during our regular Sunday/Wednesday meeting times. However, our big youth event is held every Friday night. Teens get to connect with other teens in a fun, exciting, and safe space. We believe teens have a special place in God’s heart. Our youth ministry is a place for teens to come alive in Jesus.
There are several areas of ministry for students to get involved in and serve at Porter Apostolic:
BIBLE QUIZZING
Discipleship ministry of UPCI Youth Ministries for youth 12-18 years old based on the memorization and application of the Word of God.
SMILE TEAM
Ministry opportunity for ages 9-12 every Sunday morning serving as the greeting team at Porter Apostolic.

“Hyphen” – something that connects two things and changes the nature of both. Our young adult ministry is called Hyphen because it helps college and career young adults in their time of transformation. Hyphen is committed to developing leaders and individuals who will go out into their communities and make an impact every day of the week.
Hyphen meets regularly on Fridays and at other times throughout the week to fellowship, grow together, and serve the community.
- We educate young adults on how to discover their true identity in Jesus Christ.
- We intentionally encourage young adults to pursue apostolic ministries that will release them to be the church outside of the four walls through networking with future church members.
- We believe young adults can live out their purpose by connecting their passions to Kingdom work.

God loves us at every age! At Porter Apostolic, you can thrive in whatever stage of life you find yourself. We have something for Men, Ladies, Singles, Families, Empty Nesters, and our Retirees.
