Additional Youth Ministry Activities
Youth-in-Action Worship Service – 3rd Sunday in every month beginning at 11:00 a.m.

Youth Sunday Church School – Every Sunday beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Vacation Bible School (VBS) – Every summer our Church is invaded by an army of children who love to sing, create gadgets, and learn the Bible. Our VBS is top notch, extending far beyond the members of our congregation, and it is our prayer that we can not only provide a safe place for children to play and have fun but also a place where kids learn about the Savior through Bible lessons, arts and craft, and songs.

Education Awareness – Recognize honor roll/dean’s and president’s list scholars each quarter; Award scholarships to church members based on an established criteria
