The
Junior Youth Group is for youth
in the 3rd through 6th grades.
The
Senior Youth Group is for youth
in the 7th thru 12th grades.
Both
groups meet regularly on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the
Month. The Jr's meet at 5pm and the Sr's meet at 7pm.
Aside from regular meetings we go on outings, such as
movies, sports events, Great Adventure, rafting and
retreats.
Through
sports, games, discussions, films, retreats, and service
projects we try to grow and mature as individuals through
faith in God and fellowship with God and each other.

Mission Trip 2008
The
Senior Youth Group
will embark on their 6th annual mission trip on
July 12th – 19th.
This year’s site is Denver,
Colorado.
Thirty
youth and seven adults will be partnering with
YouthWorks!
“YouthWorks
focuses on ministry. Although we use work projects as a way
to see the love of Christ, it is not an end all. We do not
call our trips “work camps” or spotlight a repaired house,
instead the “works” in our name are about what God will do
in our lives if we allow it. We desire to be Christ centered
in everything that we do.
While it is
important to be challenged in our ministry work, we believe
the most important thing we can do is to live out the love
of Christ with all whom we meet. Building true relationships
is essential in showing Christ's love; the friendships you
and your youth create with people in our communities are of
the utmost importance. These relationships are more
important to YouthWorks
than any work we could accomplish.” For more info about
