receives a Bible and a "Bible Trek" course in how to use it, in the fall

Youth Ministry: Led by our Youth Pastor and other volunteers, we offer
Sunday morning study for:

encourage personal faith discovery through the Bible, group discussion,
and art activities
- The Way (Senior High) classes to
challenge youth through multi-media, group conversation, and Bible

Confirmation classes led by the Senior Pastor are available to 7th and 8th graders
to prepare them for membership in the church.

During the past year the group has attended Ichthus (a Christian Music weekend
