"DOXA" is the name for our youth ministries (JR & HS). Doxa comes from the Greek word, "δoξα," which is defined as glory. In the Gospel of John we are challenged to glorify God as we exalt Christ as Lord above all and savior of our sins.
Our goal is to come alongside parents to disciple students, deepen their understanding and love for the gospel and each other, help them find their place in the church, and encourage them to take ownership of their faith.
Tuesdays from 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. (Doxa 10 Commands)
Sundays from 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. (Christ The Promised Messiah)
