Welcome!

Our mission is to come alongside teenagers and their families, helping support them during these formative years and point them toward a passionate discovery of God. Youth and adults make up the life of our youth ministry-adults serve our youth as volunteers and mentors, and our youth grow together in community through weekly programs, trips, and outreach. We have an active and engaged group of middle and high school youth, led by our Associate Pastor for Youth and University Ministries, Brandon Lewis.
