God is powerfully moving through the lives of young people and we are so excited to be able to be a part of what God is doing
in the lives of the youth and the community. We exist to help youth explore and deepen their faith in such a way that it
empowers them to go out to the world sharing the love of Christ and serving those that often are forgotten. We seek to give
high school students (9th-12th grade) the opportunity to grow and experience God together in a variety of different ways
including mission and service opportunities, large group events, Sunday morning gatherings, and more.
