YOUTH & FAMILY
The Youth & Family Ministry is humbled to be given the opportunity to work alongside youth & families as we learn how to live and apply the very heart of Gods teachings in an ever changing world. The ministry is geared toward presenting the Word of God in a way that is fun, understandable and relative to the challenges that our children & families face.
"Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching. They will be a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck" -Proverbs 1:9
