Faithful Fans Startup


Parents/Guardians, Do you have a child or youth in sports, arts, scouts, 4H or other fun activities?

Youth/Children, Are you involved in activities outside of church?

 

We, as your church family, would love the opportunity to support you in your activities and these places where you are living out your faith!

 

Send your schedule (to Leisha Tays, Director of CYF Ministries, ltays@oursaviourslc.org ) for the season, performances, etc. along with a list of who all from Our Saviour’s is involved in that specific activity (if you know of any others). We will then invite Faithful Fans to come together and support your young person!
