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.
