JOIN US SUNDAY MORNINGS @ 9:15AM

Start your Sunday with friends, conversation, and a safe space to explore faith. Our youth group meets in the youth room to hang out, share life, and dig into what it really means to follow Jesus in everyday life.

Through games, discussions, and interactive activities, we tackle real questions about faith, relationships, and the challenges of growing up. It’s a relaxed, welcoming environment where everyone can be themselves, build meaningful friendships, and grow spiritually together.
