Local Youth Team|Intro
Engaging the next generation to become everyday Jesus followers
Hey, welcome to the heartbeat of our youth ministry! 🎉 When it comes to our middle school and high school students, we want Sundays to feel like a breath of fresh air—relevant, fun, and full of life. This is where students get to have a blast, engage with God’s Word in a way that speaks to them, and build friendships that last.Â
On this page, we’ll walk you through the values and key elements that make our youth experience unique. As you dive in, remember: you’re not just leading a group—you’re helping shape the next generation of Jesus followers. Let’s make it count! 🙌
