SUNDAY, MAY 5
Youth Group
Sundays in the Youth Room
6 to 8 p.m.
Can we be real for a second? Becoming a teenager is HARD! We want to walk alongside of you in the messiness that you’re going through, hear your stories and get excited for what excites you. Most importantly, we believe that you matter to Jesus and that life with Him makes all the mess make a little more sense.

When our deepest desires go unmet, we try to satisfy them by devouring artificial substitutes. This always leads to emptiness and a constant loop of needing more. God's ancient guidance couldn't be more relevant. Jesus further develops the 10 commandments in ways that seemed tailored not to the 1st century, but our specific time in history.
