| About the Mountain |
The Mountain Youth Group's main goal is to empower
its youth to develop a relationship with God, and
encourages each youth to begin upon his or her own
lifelong journey to the discovery of their personal
beliefs. The Mountain wishes to help each youth
"pack for the journey" with love, nurturing,
education, aid, and encouragement.
