Weekly Youth Update: 11/25-12/01


We have experienced an amazing few months in the life of our church and what God is doing in our youth ministry. God is changing the lives of students and adults as the Bible and Gospel are preached and we could not be more excited for what He will continue to do as we look forward into 2014!

This past week, we discussed how we adjust to normal life after experiencing an amazing weekend away at the retreat. Sunday night, we praised God for His work in our church as the congregation listened to a retreat update with student testimonies! A blog post will be coming soon giving a detailed review of the ENGAGE weekend!

We will not be having Wednesday night services this week, including youth Bible study, as families prepare for Thanksgiving. Our regular Wednesday night schedule will continue December 4. Let’s use this time to remember and give thanks for the many gifts we have received from God, none greater than His Son’s life, death, and resurrection to secure us eternal life with God!


Thank you for all the prayers and loving support since we arrived in July. God has truly blessed us with an amazing church!

This ordinance is not for everyone.  This is only to be taken by those who are believers and accepted Jesus as their ultimate forgiver and leader.  To partake in this service in an unworthy state is sin. 1 Corinthians 11:27 (NLT) 27 So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this...
