Youth Ministry

The teen years are a time of asking questions, exploring a relationship with Jesus Christ, finding a purpose, making friends and making a difference in the world!
We are excited to be developing ministry to our Students with their imput.  Look for new developments in  the near future.  Currently, we offer Confirmation: A time learning and exploring faith for 7th grade and older,  a Youth Group Every other Friday for 6th grade and older  and  a Senior High Ministry that meets monthly  and  will attend a National Youth Gathering or Mission Trip in the Summer of 2022.

Growing together.

Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you are welcome here.
