    Sunday Night Youth, and

    Safe Sanctuary Volunteer Training

    Join us at our 11:00am Traditional Service as our 2024 Confirmands make their professions of faith and join the church!


    We'd love for your middle and/or high school student(s) to join us for Sunday Night Youth! We begin our night with a time of Food and Fellowship from 5:30pm-6:00pm. At 6:00pm we go over announcements, have a short time of worship, and a prayer. Afterwards, we break into small groups. Our girls small group is currently going through an Armor of God video Bible Study with Priscilla Shirer; our boys small group is about to begin a study called 31 Bible Verses Everyone Should Know. We end our night with a group game which starts around 7:00pm and is done by 7:30pm.


    Beginning at 5:30pm in the Youth Lounge Pastor Chris will be holding a Safe Sanctuary Training for our volunteers. This is a training that must be completely each year in order to volunteer to work with our students. If you are able, please make every effort to attend!
