Our congregation is dedicated to serving young people and their families. Our youth program provides a wide variety of activities for children of all ages with the purpose of helping students grow mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially, just as the Bible teaches that Jesus grew in Luke 2:52. It is our intent to help young people and families feel encouraged and equipped to live a life faithfully serving the Lord.

Our Youth Ministry is divided up into four natural dividing groups. Our Sparks (2nd grade and under) & Intermediates (3rd-5th), Junior High (6th-8th Grades), and our Senior High (9th-12th Grades). It is our goal with each group to provide specifically tailored classes, events, and opportunities for children to grow while placing importance on family, community, and discipleship.

"The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my delivere

"The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge." – Psalm 18:2

Life can feel overwhelming—school, friendships, and the pressure to have it all together. But God is your rock. He’s steady when life feels shaky. He’s your safe place when you feel unsure.

No matter what you face this week, remember that God is with you. He never changes, and His love never fails. When you feel anxious or uncertain, take a moment to pray and lean into His strength.

💬 How can you rely on God as your rock this week? Share in the comments or reflect on it in your quiet time. 💡

We got caught up in all the activities last night and didn’t take many pictures, but thankfully @kim_jenkins5 managed to snag a few photos of our historic Lighthouse last night.

Special thanks goes to all who helped make the night a success, and all of our students who did a fantastic job inviting others to attend. What a great time to be a part of the youth group!
