Youth
We have Middle (6, 7, 8th graders) and Senior High school events going on all year long. Our Mission is to provide opportunities for youth to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, apply the love of Jesus to their own lives and share that love with others.
Our goal is for students to have a personal relationship with Christ and to stand on a solid foundation of faith by honoring God, loving those around them through outreach, and by connecting with fellow brothers and sisters through study and fellowship.
Middle School Learning Hour meets at 10:00 each week in the Youth Room classroom. Concluding in May, middle school students dive into the New Testament using the curriculum “We Believe: With All Boldness and Freedom.” Materials cover The New Church. On May 13th & 20th, join the Sr. High group for special Mission Speakers - visitors are always welcome!
Senior High Learning Hour has a new focus! Join our Sr. High group and learn about 12 Surprising Men & Women of the Old Testament. Our study concludes on May 6th with Jonah. May 13th & 20th come and be inspired by speakers sharing Mission Stories. Friends always welcome! Senior High Learning Hour meets in the Youth Room (lower level).
