Youth

At an age when restlessness and the search for identity intensifies, high school and junior high students will find no better model for a satisfied heart than in a church of committed believers and a home where the Gospel is lived out day by day.  At Living Grace we invite our students to attend Sunday worship services with their family.  We believe when students worship with the greater church body they learn to appreciate that church is so much more than youth group alone.  They experience the fellowship of believers and come to understand that they too are vital in the life and purpose of the church.  

We offer a mid-week opportunity for students to gather with others their age for relevant teaching and to be challenged in the experience of their faith.  In addition to the mid-week meetings we periodically schedule camps, events and service opportunities in order to blend teaching and fun in a way that produces students well equipped to worship the God who reigns.  By authenticating and supplementing the principles that parents teach at home, we long to show our students a hope far greater than any this world can give.
