Youth GroupAll youth grades 7-12 are invited to the first fall YOUTH GROUP meeting on Sunday, September 24 from 11:30-1:30pm! In addition to lunch and social time, we’re starting our four-part series on The Big Questions. As the church, we have an incredible opportunity to walk with a generation as they ask “Who am I?” – “Where do I fit in?” – and – “Do I matter?”
Join us in a safe and affirming space as we discover faith-centered answers to our biggest questions of identity, belonging, and purpose. This is a great time to jump on board, even if you’ve never participated in Youth Group before, and friends are welcome!
