REAL Youth Ministry exists to engage today’s generation of young people for Christ.  Nathan Barkley and Jordan Harris seek to reach out to the youth of North Mississippi with a message of hope – hope that says that you are not bound by the sins of your parents and that the love of Jesus is for everybody.

Like The Sanctuary, REAL Youth are comprised of several races and ethnicities.   Stereotypes are torn down.  Racial barriers are non-existent.  Everyone is welcome, no matter which side of the track you’re growing up on!  Together, REAL Youth are engaged with weekly activities, guaranteeing that there is never a shortage of things to do… trips, games, eating out, and fun and exciting classes and services tailored specifically to meet young people’s needs – it’s never boring with REAL!
