Our Youth Ministry is a vehicle that will take our youth’s faith to new levels, challenges, places, and experiences. They will worship, grow and go, taking Christ’s love out to the world.

Mission Statement

We love our youth and the youth of the world; we have a strong desire for all of them to develop close relationships with Jesus. We do this through small groups and mission trips which develop discipleship and personal friendships. We also do large group activities like Sunday School and Sunday night Youth Group which strengthens students’ faith while giving them a sense of belonging and community. In this season of their lives, when youth are trying to claim their own identities, we try and help them identify as children of God while also learning to see how they were uniquely and wonderfully made.  We encourage them, challenge them, laugh with them, and love them.

Kay's Restaurant Recommendation

We absolutely LOVE The Iberian Pig on the Square in Decatur. Why? Three simple words – Charcuterie, Tapas, and atmosphere.

Jasmine's Restaurant Recommendation

Desta Ethiopian Kitchen is my favorite restaurant! I recommend it because it’s different from typical American cuisine and has menu options that cater to a variety of preferences. The food is always fresh and tasty. I love the potent and savory flavors. The food is not just good it’s Instagram post worthy. Any family can enjoy the delicious sharable portions served here!
