“Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct,
in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. “

Get ready for something fresh, fun, and full of truth!

This isn’t your typical Bible study — we’re diving into the Word in a way that’s real, relevant, and 100% youth-led and youth-focused.

🔥 Expect:
✨ Real talk
📖 Fresh takes on scripture
🎧 Chill vibes
🙌 A community that gets you

Don’t miss our kickoff session this May 6th! Bring your friends, your questions, and your snacks — we’ll bring the Word. 🙌

YOUTH MINISTRY EVENTS

Sundae Sundays

Stop by the parlor on Sundays in June after service and support our youth to help them reach their fundraising goals!

Youth Ministry Car Wash

This fundraiser is more than just a chance to get your car sparkling clean — it’s an opportunity to support the amazing youth of our church as we prepare for a year full of exciting activities, meaningful service, and spiritual growth.

We have several events planned this year that will nurture our young people’s faith, character, and leadership skills — and we need your help to make them happen. In addition, we’re thrilled to begin decorating and furnishing our newly designated youth rooms, creating a vibrant space where they can grow, gather, and feel at home. ✨

Your participation and generosity will go a long way in helping us reach our goals. Whether you stop by for a wash, make a donation, or help spread the word, you’re investing in the future of our youth — and we’re so grateful.

If you’d like to give but can’t make it to the car wash, donations are welcome!

Thank you for your continued love, prayers, and support. Let’s make this year unforgettable for our youth!
