Youth Groups
We have two dynamic youth groups. Our Senior High youth group is for all high schoolers and meets twice a month usually on Sunday evening.  The highlight of our year is our annual mission trip that usually takes place in June. In 2019 our mission trip was to Atlanta, Georgia where we worked with the homeless. Our Junior High youth group meets twice a month. They also go on a mission trip sometime during the summer. In summer 2019, they went to Virginia Beach to help with needed home repairs in a trailer park. Our Youth Ministry has been led by Graham Witt for 12+ years.  Under his leadership our youth are being grounded in God’s Word to enable them to deal with the challenges they face each day, and to live out their faith as followers of Jesus by regularly serving the needy in a variety of ways in our community.

Children

Children

 
We have Sunday School for children of all ages at 11:00 a.m.  These classes employ DVD and streaming media curriculum. In the summer we have an awesome Vacation Bible School with 60 – 80 children from our community and church. The Young First Followers is our Kindergarten through Fifth grade fellowship group of 10 to 20 kids. They meet twice a month during the school year on different weekend days.  They are a lively bunch that are learning the scriptures through story and crafts, and put those principles into practice through local mission activities and support.
