Our Purpose
To learn more about God and live a better life by following him. There are many
challenges in today’s life as a teenager and we believe it is the job of the
Youth Council to give our youth an option, a place where it is cool to love and
help someone. The youth group is an opportunity for youth, parents, and adults
to be an intricate part of church.
