Youth HuddleS
During 11 am Services
Our weekly teen bible study focuses on in-depth examination of the Word of God and practical application in our daily lives to arm these adults in training with the truth and wisdom.
Once a month (4th Sunday), teens are encouraged to attend the main 11 am service, instead.
Weekly, we encourage youth to attend/serve during first service upstairs.
For families with children in different age ranges: Sunday School for children 6-11 is only available during second service, and younger children have class during both first and second services.
