YOUTH MINISTRY

Diane Trew- Youth Coordinator

Youth ministry includes five different areas and focuses on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

1. Worship - Sunday morning worship is at the core of the programmatic youth activities. Additional worship experiences are provided throughout the year.

2. Evangelism - This is reaching out with the Gospel to other youth.

3. Education and Discipleship - As we learn about God, the Bible, and our faith and following Jesus Christ, we grow.
