• Invest: In the next generation of young people in positive ways

• Inspire: Our youth by our examples and challenge them to take faith risks
• Instruct: By Teaching, Equipping, and Educating our youth

Focus, Trust, and Obey. God’s way is the only way!
Due to the pandemic, we found ways to reach our youth through God’s word. Every Saturday embracing the third Sunday, we had a Youth Empowerment Session at 11am on Zoom. We encouraged all our youth to attend and to bring a friend! We had a great time learning about God. We are now back in the sanctuary. Youth Sunday is every Third Sunday. We would like to encourage everyone to join in person or on our Facebook Live, as we all need empowerment of God’s word as we go through each and every season of our lives.
