Our philosophy and goals

As our society continues to change, teenagers face more difficult challenges and choices than ever. Most of our long-standing institutions treat morality with such subjectivity that it can be difficult for teens to know how to chart a course that will lead to a blessed and fulfilled future. Ps. 119:9 asks, "How shall a young person find the straight path? . . . By obeying God's Word."

Directed by our Youth Pastor, our middle school and high school youth groups are especially effective in ministering to our kids through these important, formative years. In addition to innovative Bible teaching and opportunities for service, our weekly youth services and life groups facilitate supportive friendships that help teens to resist peer pressure.

Using contemporary music and theater techniques, our teens have ministered extensively to our congregation and community. Our teen drama team has won several local and regional competitions, and has competed at the National Fine Arts Festival in gatherings of more than 10,000 Christian teens from across the country.
