Prince & Princess 3rd Street Top Influencer

Prince/Princess Competition & Youth Influencer Challenge!

We are excited to share important information about the Prince/Princess Competition & Youth Influencer Challenge!

The goal of this youth-focused event is to raise $6000 for the AME Church assessment. This challenge is more than fundraising – it’s about empowering our youth to be beacons, role models, and leaders, and to share their faith with their teammates, neighbors, friends, and family. We need all kids to participate for this to be a success.

There are two different challenge options:

Challenge 1 (Most Money): Each participant is asked to raise a minimum of $500. The child with the most money over $500 wins for their age group.

OR

Challenge 2 (Most Visitors): Invite family and friends to church from March 1st to April 12th. The child with the most visitors wins for each age group. There will be a barcode (located outside the Sanctuary) each week for people to scan to support a youth.

These friendly competitions will begin on Sunday, March 1, 2026.
