What does Youth Group include?

The Youth Group is a group of young adults ranging from 12-18 years of age who seek to have a good time while also keeping Christ at the center of their lives. There is a Middle School group that meets throughout the school year on Wednesday nights from 7:00 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. This group has chosen the name Dunamis, from the Greek word for "power." The High School group meets Sunday nights throughout the school year from 7:00 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. Both groups meet in the Youth Room, 214. They do many activities, including fundraisers, mission work, raise money for various charities as well as share together in fun and laughter. Our activities include mission trips, a day at Sandcastle Water Park, car washes, movie nights, lock-ins, various charitable walks, collecting and making health kits for the homeless, and many other activities.
