Youth Ministry isn't something that just happens on Sunday morning or Wednesday night anymore...

We are currently working in the youth room (Room 224) to make it a welcoming and inviting place for youth to be after school.  We are hoping to include space to do homework, wireless capabilities, food and beverages, hang out space, multi-media capabilities, games for unwinding after school, and lots more.

Wouldn't it be nice to know that your kids are in a safe place after school?  Stay tuned for more information on this ongoing process!
