6th - 12th Grade
All youth in 6th through 12th grade are invited to continue their faith journey through Youth Group! Youth group picks up where PREP leaves off, and helps transition faith from the classroom to real life. Youth develop deep friendships, learn how to have healthy fun, and grow a meaningful relationship with the Lord.
