Children & Youth

Our children and youth programs aim for youth of all ages to move from a basic "understanding" of scripture and beliefs to personalizing the message, establishing a personal relationship with God, strengthening their prayer life, and developing an outward focus of attending to the greater community needs as a transforming presence in the world.
