- Empowering youth to develop a lasting relationship with Christ.
- Teaching youth the skills needed to live a well-contemplated faith.
- Fellowship with Christian youth and adults.
- Practicing the spiritual disciplines so that they can be used as tools later in life.

Youth Mission Trips
Each summer our middle school and high school youth put their faith into action by serving others around the country. In recent history, we have traveled to New Orleans, San Antonio and Portland (Oregon).
During the summer of 2006, we went to Perryville, Arkansas to work with the Heifer Project International at their service learning ranch. This particular trip focused on global poverty and Christ’s instructions to “Feed My Sheep.”
