There is something special about summertime in the life of our Youth Family! Our pace changes and schedules open up just enough for us to spend meaningful time together, serving, learning and playing. In all of these moments, we are afforded the opportunity to build relationships, connect with new folks and grow deeper in our friendships and in our relationship with God. Summer gives us the gift of time together, and that is something that truly matters in a world that often feels busy and rushed.
Throughout the summer, we offer a variety of opportunities and experiences to create space for laughter, fun, service in our community, and discipleship. Our weekly gatherings for MidWeek Missions & More provide a consistent opportunity for our youth to connect with each other and the community while growing in our faith. Whether we are partnering with local mission organizations, traveling together on retreats and trips, gathering for meals, or simply enjoying time together, these moments help our students feel known, welcomed and connected.
Join us on Wednesdays for MidWeek Missions & More from 9:00am to 2:00pm when our Youth Family is in town. All youth are welcome to participate in a mission project, enjoy lunch together, and attend a youth bible study. Watch for our Summer Calendar to be published in the next couple of weeks so you can join us for all the fun!
