2017-2018 Calendar Children and Youth
Welcome! We take the promises made at a child s baptism and young person s confirmation seriously by committing to nurture children and youth through Bible study, worship, music, mission, and fellowship. We would love for you to join us this year as we grow together in our faith-- not only on Sunday mornings in worship and study--but through music, service and mission; as well as gathering for meals, movies, and overnights.
