We are in need of youth volunteers starting this fall. Volunteers build relationships with youth and, on occasion, help lead Bible studies or small groups. The weekly youth meeting occurs on Tuesday night and there are special events on the weekend each month. If you are interested in getting involved at any level, contact Lee or Becky Edwards or Pastor Ryan.
