Youth Ministry is for teenagers in grades 7-12. Groups will be split up with one consisting of 7th and 8th graders and the other consisting of 9th-12th graders. We have middle school youth nights on Tuesday’s and high school youth nights on the Second and Fourth Sundays of the month. We meet to learn more about our Faith while helping each other grow in holiness. We also have many other events happening for both groups including; a lock-in, a mission trip, retreats and a bowling night, just to name a few. A teen that comes to youth group regularly can expect to become not only more knowledgeable about our Faith, but can also expect to become better prepared for their next step in their life.
