The Youth Department is very active.  There are many ways that youth can engage in the study of God’s Word.  On the 4th Sunday of each month, the youth department gets their praise on!  They are active participants in the Order of Worship and are responsible for the music for the worship service.

Dance Ministry
We have an active dance ministry.  Youth who participate in the dance ministry perform a new routine every 4th Sunday.
Hip Hop Bible Study
Hip Hop Bible Study is a new Bible Study program just for young people.  It is led by youth under the supervision of our Pastor and selected Church School teachers.
Children’s Church
Children’s Church is held every Sunday except the 4th Sunday.  Bible lessons and activities are provided for every age group.  Snacks are also provided.
Wednesday Youth Program
During Wednesday Youth Program, children get help with homework, experience the Word, and participate in a variety of activities.  This year, the youth planted a vegetable garden, nurtured the plants, and harvested the plants.
