A recent Gallup poll reports that there are six basic needs of young people:
1. The need to believe that life is meaningful and has a purpose;
2. The need for practical help in developing a mature faith;
3. The need to feel one is growing in faith;
4. The need for a sense of community and deeper relationships;
5. The need to be appreciated and loved; and
6. The need to be listened to - to be heard.

Through the Youth Ministry programs at Payson Park Church, we are working to address each of these basic needs of young people.
