Youth Ministry
The Youth Ministry vision is to passionately proclaim Christ’s glory, build disciples, and equip them to reach all people. The vision verse is Acts 20:24 “However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me – the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace.”

Small Groups
Small groups create anatmosphere of accountability and discipleship. The importance is far reaching and allows for students to have more one on one time with each other as well as their leaders. We believe that in these groups, students have an opportunity to really focus on Christ and learn what it means to share life in a community of believers.
