Youth Ministry
Questions welcome.Youth Ministry – Shine
Meets on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sundays | Start in Worship together at 9 AM |
What if faith wasn’t about having the right answers — but about asking the real questions, together?
Starting this September, our youth are invited into Shine, a curriculum built on a simple but powerful idea: every young person deserves a place where they are truly known and loved, where their biggest questions are taken seriously, and where they can wonder out loud without fear of getting it “wrong.”
Each month, youth begin by worshiping alongside the whole church family at 9 AM — because faith grows best in community, not in isolation. Then they head out, where they’ll gather to explore God’s story together: wrestling with what it means, discovering how it connects to their own lives, and finding meaning that actually fits the world they’re growing up in.
Shine isn’t about filling kids with information. It’s about helping them stretch toward the light already calling to them — and then giving them the confidence and the tools to carry that light back out into their friendships, their school, their everyday lives.
Curious what your teen might discover? Come see for yourself. All are welcome — no church background required.
