Our Mission
Our mission is to foster a vibrant, inclusive Christian community where students and ministers are empowered to grow spiritually and connect meaningfully. We seek to build a network of open and compassionate congregations which work together to build a more unified and just world.

We're committed to creating spaces where faith intersects with intellectual honesty, social justice, and inclusive community. Our approach honors both tradition and transformation, recognizing that spiritual growth happens best in environments of safety, curiosity, and mutual respect.

The Three Branches
Progressive Youth Collective can be easily divided into three branches: Student Formation, Ministerial Community, and our Resource Library.
Student Formation

Resource Library
Resource Library
Curriculum and resources by experienced ministers
There is significantly less curriculum available for students at progressive churches, and we seek to change that. Access our growing library of curriculum, worship resources, and educational materials created by educated ministers.
