Join us for free dinner tomorrow night at 6:30 in the Youth Center! (Rumor has it there might be salad and breadsticks!)

Join us on our annual Fall Retreat! This is a time for our youth group to come and connect with each other and about 400 other students from around the state, cultivating COMMUNITY, being in fellowship with one another, and learning and growing together as a community of believers.

Teens will deepen their faith, build community, and enjoy camp favorites at Warren Willis. This is a can’t-miss event! The deadline is Sunday, October 18. You will receive an itinerary and packing list the week of the event.

You can expect:

·         Awesome Worship experiences

·         Hands-on Workshops and learning experiences
