YOUTH MINISTRY TEAM
We believe that our youth live in a broken world, a world that sin has corrupted. Our desire is to raise and empower a new generation of youth that can have an impact on that broken world… a group of young men and women who can step out with confidence and let the love of Christ shine through the overflow of the Spirit in their own lives.
