About the Ministry

Life is a journey.  It's important to be prepared and pack the necessary things for our life journey with God. 

The Youth Ministry's main goal is to share the Bible and life application with teens. Youth are empowered to develop a deeper relationship with God, each other and the world as they grow as disciples of Christ.  Youth are encouraged to continue upon his/her own lifelong, spiritual journey to the discovery of their personal beliefs with the Bible and Methodism as a resource. The leadership endeavors to help each youth build on their Christian foundation with love, nurturing, education, and encouragement.
