High School Youth

Every 1st and 3rd Sunday from 5:00-7:00pm, all High Schoolers (grades 9th-12th) will be joining Pastor Ethan and company for High School Youth Group! We’ll start in the gym and then make our way to the youth room for snacks, games, competitions, and time for devotional reflection. Let’s make this a year of deepening our relationships with each other and strengthening our faith in the saving work of Jesus!
