Youth Group

Our Youth Ministry program is for parish members in the 8th through 12th grade, and offers social, educational, service, and worship experiences to develop a deeper relationship with God. Our Youth Group provides a safe, faith-based environment with guidance, practice and example from our parish adults and leaders.
Our Mission

Our mission is to reach out to 8th – 12th grade students providing a place of fellowship and growth where we can connect with God, with each other, and the community.
Our Vision

We envision students seeing Christ as the answer, getting an opportunity to know Him better through worship, small groups, and activities. Students are to love God and each other as Christ has loved us, and to impact those around them with His love.
