YOUTH MINISTRIES

Our youth ministries strive to help all students know, love, and serve God deeply through Jesus Christ, and to equip them with the tools to better understand themselves and others. Participants enjoy food and activities, as well as engaging Bible teaching with interactive small groups and prayer times. Youth groups are free—all students and their friends of appropriate ages are welcome!
