The Youth Ministry is in full swing this summer, offering events, trips and conferences throughout July and August. We will be focusing on enjoying God’s presence, God’s people and God’s creation together. Here are some ways we plan to achieve this goal:

Morning DevOceanal
Tuesday mornings from 10:00-1:00. (except Aug 12.) Join us at the beach for a time of enjoying each other and God’s presence as we look at His word. Bring a Bible, some money for concession snacks, and a swimsuit. This is open to youth of all ages. We meet at Spanish Banks East Concession.
