Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us. Heb.12:1

Sean Cawthon, Evangelism and Youth Director

A great big thanks goes out to all youth and parents who helped out on the Battle of the Bands event. All in all it was a great success! We learned a lot, worked hard and had a lot of fun.

Please consider helping out with any of our outings as chaperones or with any upcoming awesome and important events in the lives of our growing youth.

Please join us on Sunday evenings for our new series entitled, “WHY SO MANY GODS?” We are doing a comparison study of religions. As we draw closer to the One True God, please pray for our youth as they wrestle with this very question. Thank you, parents, for your unending support. We have a great program that is growing and becoming all that God has because of your dedication and love for the children. Blessings to you!
