Youth and Young Adult Ministry

Here, as a teen, you can belong, discover Jesus, find healing, and make an impact as a leader.

Our mission is to “make disciples”: for you to encounter Jesus and be transformed through following Him and His Church.

Looking for a youth group near you? Contact Taylor Piotrzkowski, to be personally connected to a nearby youth ministry.
