Youth Ministry
At the heart and soul of the Youth Ministry for youth 6th thru 12th grades are regular group, study, and service opportunities. Associate Pastor for Youth, Josh Stewart, and youth leaders seek to provide a fun and exciting environment for students in middle and high school to grow together in Christ Jesus. Youth Group is a place where all are welcomed, loved, and accepted for who they are, a place where they are free to be their true selves, and a place to eat and laugh together as we all seek to serve God and our neighbors!

Requested Forms
If you have not yet filled out the liability & medical consent forms, or the photo release forms, take a minute to take care of that so we have it on file for any/all upcoming events!
We require both forms in order to participate in activities or trips that involve group transportation, overnights, and/or activities we feel a medical form would be helpful. If you have children birth-5th grade, submit forms to Jayne: . If your children are youth, 6th-12th grade, submit forms to Becky: . If you have medical insurance, we also ask for a copy of the front/back of the insurance card. These forms do not expire so you will only need to fill them out again if your information changes. Should you have any questions, contact Josh or Ann anytime.
