YOUTH CONNECTION

YOUTH Connection

Our YOUTH gatherings include both Jr. and Sr. high students (7th-12th grades). Our time together is focused on fellowship with peers, eating food (LOTS of food!), sharing in relevant issues of life together as teenagers. We open the Bible to learn how to live REAL life God’s way, learning how God’s Word applies to every aspect of life, and praying for each other’s needs. Through all this we’re building friendships that will last a lifetime. Our volunteer staff is trained and background checked, and compliant with all California safety regulations.

Meet the team.
