Confirmation
Our confirmation program is for 7th and 8th graders who are looking to affirm the promises that were made over them in baptism. This is a time of learning and growth that aims to equip our young people to be followers of Jesus in this world.
Youth Group
Youth Group is for all confirmation students and high school youth grades 9-12. This group meets regularly to grow in community and faith, as well as to have fun and serve the larger community.
Mission Trips
Our youth love to travel to various places to be the hands and feet of Christ to those in need. Most recently they have traveled to Fayetteville, West Virginia and Breathitt County, Kentucky on work mission trips.
