YOUTH EVENTS
Our personal walk with Jesus is so important, but we also NEED each other! Events are a great way to chill, love, and honor God together beyond just Wednesday night youth group. If you're in grades 6-12, check out what we've got going on! From epic youth events like Camp, Canoe Trips, and the Minnesota Youth Convention, there’s always something awesome happening!
Kids going into 6th grade have options. They, together with their parents, can decide if they will move to Youth or stay in Kids’ Church. They can also choose to go to Youth on Wed. and Kids’ Church on Sun. They can be a part of Youth and still attend special events for kids like Snow Daze, the musical, and Kids’ Camp. Contact Pastor Ben or Pastor Tina with any questions.
