CONNECT

RESCUE YOUTH MINISTRY

Wednesday Evenings (6:30pm-8:00pm)

We meet in the Youth Room (Room 108 & 109) for our large group gathering. During our time together youth have opportunities to grow and connect with others through fun activities and games. Youth will also have an opportunity to hear a biblical message that is relevant and practical for the needs of today’s youth. All youth grades 6th-12th are welcome.

TRIPS & RETREATS

Throughout the year we have many engaging fellowship events and activities such as concert trips, retreats, and other experiences that spur on discipleship.

GROW SUNDAY MORNING SMALL GROUP

Sunday Mornings (9:45am) Our Sunday morning small group (Youth Room 108 & 109) is designed to give youth the chance to grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus through times of group discussion.

SUMMER CAMP

For one week every summer we have a unique opportunity to deepen our relationship with Christ and each other in a summer camp experience. The elements and environment we encounter challenge us to pursue Christ and community like never before.
