Our Ministry
UCHSM exists to accomplish three goals:
To help high school students to KNOW Jesus Christ.
The Apostle Paul once said, “I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8). We agree and want to make the good news of Jesus Christ central to everything we say and do so students would come to know the grace and goodness of Jesus Christ. We want to help students taste and see that there is nothing better than personally knowing the Risen King, Jesus Christ, and being known by him.
To help high school students to DECLARE Jesus Christ.
Not only do we want our students to know Jesus, but we want to help them make Jesus known by sharing the good news of salvation to their non-Christian friends and family so they can be saved from death into life! For us, high school students are not hassles to be endured, but heralds to be equipped.
To help high school students MAKE DISCIPLES of Jesus Christ.
Jesus has given the Church one mission, to make disciples of Jesus (Matthew 28:18-20), and it doesn’t have an minimum age requirement. Christian high school students are called to the work of discipling others! Therefore, we disciple our high school students not to help them follow Jesus, but so they’d be able to help others follow Jesus too.

Jeff Marchand
High School Director
I grew up in a Christian family, but it wasn't until I was freshman year of college that God saved me through Jesus. Shortly after, God brought me to join Union Church and I am so excited to help students grow in Christ and learn what it means to follow him.
KATELYNN MARCHAND
High School Girls Leader
I was a junior in high school when I met Jesus and he changed my entire life. A friend had invited me to her youth group that school year and I was pursued and loved by leaders and fellow students. I am humbled to care for these students because the Lord can use this time in their lives to get a hold of their hearts, just as he did mine!
A.J. Solis
High School Guys Leader
I am one of six kids! I was raised in a Christian family, but decided to truly follow Christ when I was twenty. I am excited to be used by Christ in high school ministry and our broader church family.
LUKAS RODGERS
High School Guys Leader
I live in San Clemente and enjoy coffee, design, and photography. I came to know Christ as my Savior in my last years of high school. I’m excited to share Jesus with the high schoolers in our town and help them grow in Christ’s likeness!
SAVANNA DRUMWRIGHT
High School Girls Leader
I have lived in San Clemente for the majority of my life! When I found Union, the gospel-centered community drew me in and it's changed the way I walk with the Lord on a daily basis. I strive to share the good news of Jesus with our beautiful beach town and beyond!
KYLIA THURMAN
High School Girls Leader
I had grown up lightly hearing about the Lord, but it wasn’t until freshman year of high school the my life was radically changed by His love. I have always had a passion for the high schoolers and had the amazing opportunity of leading a group of youth gals at my previous church. I am SO stoked to be a part of this team and am excited to see God work in the lives of these kids!
JOANNA (JOJO) ROBISON
High School Girls Leader
I became a Christian when I was in junior high and it was the youth ministry at my dad's church that got me excited about Jesus. I am so excited to be a part of these students walk in faith and do the same!
