Coming together in weekly studies, serve activities, social nights, and more we seek to build up the faith of our youth. Please check out ongoing gatherings and event opportunities.
Middle School & High School on Sunday Mornings
Each Sunday morning, youth gather in separate middle school and high school groups from 9:30 - 10:15 AM in the Youth House. This is an interactive time to dig into Scripture, ask questions, and talk about life with our adult group leaders.
