Young Adults
Our young adults meet Sundays at 6:30 pm, to walk with Jesus together through Scripture and how to live it out in an everchanging world. And there's no shortage of fun and laughter whether gathering on Sunday nights or for other memorable events that strengthen their bonds with each other and their commitment to Jesus.
