Come be a part of our Youth Family this school year! Join us for all of the fun, discipleship and fellowship that is provided for grades 6-12! Sundays in August will properly kick off our school year with Blessing Sunday on August 11, Youth Families Block Party on August 18 and our Merge Retreat and first Sunday Night Live (Sunday Night Bible study) on August 25! Please let either of us know if you have any questions about our Youth Family programming.
Our Youth Family regularly gathers for Wednesdays@First, Sunday Night Live, and Sunday School. We also have a variety of retreats, outings and events throughout the year! While our retreats and trips create core memories for our whole Youth Family, during the week we have time set apart from school and work to dig deeper into Bible study, discipleship and missions on Wednesdays and Sundays.
—Mary Carol Anderson, Minister of Youth & College and Andrew Tonks, Associate Minister of Youth & College
