Youth events are an important part of a successful student ministry. Mission trips, youth rallies, lock-ins, and other trips all play a part in the faith formation of teenagers. Plus, they help in social bonding and provide a sense of that BIG EVENT to look forward to.
   
  We strive to maintain a sensible variety of events that cover a wide range, rather than focusing on just one type of event.
   
  In a typical year, we attend various youth rallies, take an extended mission trip, spend a week at camp, put on a high quality VBS, perform various service projects, stay up all night at some lock-ins, compete in a local Bible Bowl, raise money for starving children, and have an occasional purely fun recreational activity or two...or three...or four.
   
  Check out the line-up to see what's happening next and what to look forward to in the future.

Please note that not all events are listed to the right. Only those ones that we know are coming well in advance are listed. Occasionally, we have special events such as a movie night, an amusement park trip, a canoeing trip, a youth fun day, a corn maze adventure, or some other similar event. Whenever such events are being planned, we try to give as much advance notice as possible.
