Youth ministry
Youth Group is for young adults in grades 9-12. We meet every Sunday for 45 minutes between services during the school year to study God's Word. We do other activities such as: going to youth rallies both locally and internationally; hosting Lenten suppers; helping with Vacation Bible School during the summer; and meeting for the annual Super Bowl party. We take being in God's Word very seriously, but at the same time we try to have fun and spend quality time with our brothers and sisters in faith. Join us!
Special needs ministry
Jesus Cares is a ministry that shares the Gospel with people who have developmental disabilities. He [Jesus] said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation." — Mark 16:15. Typically we have a Bible story, song, and a craft. We meet on select Thursday evenings at 6:30pm, please see the calendar on the home page. Please contact pastor with any questions.
