Our Mission and Vision
The Exchange exists to help students grow into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. Our vision is to disciple students on Long Island in the Gospel and equip them to change their generation. We do this through what we call the 5 “SHIPS” of ministry: Worship: Students will learn to worship God with all their heart, soul and life. Ownership: Students will take ownership of their faith and bring the Gospel to the world. Relationship: Students will build meaningful relationships with staff, volunteers and peers. Leadership: Students will develop leadership skills to serve the church and beyond. Discipleship: Students will receive discipleship to deepen their walk with Jesus Christ.
Weekly Services
The Exchange Youth Group - Students in grades 6-12 gather every Wednesday night from 7-9 PM at The Harbor in Center Moriches for youth group. Every week we have an awesome time of community, an open gym, a fully equipped youth cafe, games, testimony, worship, a challenging and encouraging message, small group conversation, and prayer. We are a youth ministry where anyone who walks through the doors is a welcome and valued part of our community.
Upcoming Events
Parents Conference-May 4th, 2024
Harbor Kids and The Exchange Youth are excited to announce our first ever Parents Conference! In a world desperately trying to label everyone and everything it can be challenging to understand WHO we are. As parents, it is even more difficult to try and help our kids understand the identity they have in Jesus Christ. That is why we want to come alongside YOU to help give you tools and resources to be able to instill a Christ-centered identity in your children! Join us for a full day conference where you will be encouraged by incredible speakers, hear compelling stories of parenting successes and failures, have tough questions answered by panels of seasoned Christian parents, and learn how you can help your kids understand their deep rooted identity as children of God!

Dominican Republic Missions Trip-July7th-13th, 2024
This summer we are excited to be taking a team of students and leaders to the Dominican Republic for a missions trip! We’ll be serving a local community by providing a Summer VBS for kids through a local church, loving these kids and families by providing brand new sports equipment free of charge, and doing service projects that are needed within the community. The most exciting part of this trip is that The Exchange will not only be serving this community during the summer, but we will be “adopting” and serving this community throughout the school year by providing support, writing letters, sending Christmas and birthday gifts, and much more. Beyond that, we will be making it a part of our youth culture to go back, be with the community we grow to love, and serve them again year after year. The cost of the trip is around $1,500 per person, which are students and volunteers will be working hard to raise! Donations made towards this missions trip are much appreciated and tax deductible! If you are interested in donating towards this trip, you can do so at https://theharborli.com/supportyouthmissions.
