Youth

The Old Testament is full of amazing stories about remarkable people. From the very beginning, God has been at work in people’s lives, whether kings, prophets, judges or ordinary individuals. By looking at how God worked in their lives, we see God’s character, His love and provision, His judgment and discipline, and His redemptive plan for humanity.

Our Sunday morning bible studies will reveal how people of the Old Testament encountered God in amazing ways and their lives were drastically changed. In this study, students will be challenged to see how an encounter with God will change their lives forever.

Every Sunday evening the youth take over and have their own youth worship service where they explore Christ through movie themes and other creative ways and apply them to their lives and issues today. Youth are encouraged to participate in leading worship with music, drama, dance, and break-away discussion groups after a short message is shared. Games are also played and snacks served.
