Ignite is off for the summer! We’ll resume in september - registration opens Aug. 1st

Ignite is our youth group for grades 4-6 which meets on Sundays from 3:00-4:30 PM in the Parish Life Center. Ignite is designed to help 4th-6th graders encounter Jesus and grow in relationship with Him while growing in friendship with one another.

Young Church

young church is taking sunday nights off this summer; join us on wednesday nights for bible study and a monthly social night - see the summer schedule below!

Young Church is our youth group for grades 7-12 which meets on Sundays from 6:00-8:00 PM in the Parish Life Center. Our mission at Young Church is to invite teens into personal relationship with Jesus Christ and provide a community where they can grow as His disciples. We begin the night with middle school and high school youth in the same room for food, social time, games, and praise and worship. After worship, grades 7-8 and 9-12 divide into separate rooms for a teaching and/or small group discussion.
Young Church is led by a team of adults (Core Team) under the direction of the Coordinator/Associate Coordinator of Youth Disicpleship.
