Our Youth Group

Our Youth Group is for all Middle and High School students interested in meeting friends, having fun, learning about God, and getting involved in service projects. Members and their friends are welcome. We meet at least twice a month. Our monthly 'U-turn Meeting' is on the third Sunday of every month from 5-7pm. During these meetings we play games, study and discuss the bible, listen to music, eat dinner together, and have a great time! 

Also, we try to get together for a social or service event as often as possible.  These have included activities such as hiking, Adopt-a-Highway, concerts, picnics, movies, and game night. Look for upcoming events in the bulletin, newsletter, and information rack. Feel free to contact us by phone or email for more information. We have a great time and hope you will come and join us! Join us on the 3rd Sunday of every month from 5-7pm for the U-turn Meeting!!!

We will look for you there...and bring a friend!!!

When looking for activities and groups to get involved in, families are provided with so many opportunities that they may not know where to start.
