For the past couple of months, the Youth Committee has been discussing what we as a church can do to strengthen our youth program as we make plans for the future. We love and are proud of our young people, and we are all dedicated to providing them with the tools they need as they grow together in the grace and knowledge of our Lord.

The Youth Committee has recommended to the elders that the best way to ensure the continued spiritual development of our youth is to hire a full-time youth minister. The elders support this proposal fully, and so we will begin immediately a search for a youth minister. The Youth Committee, led by Scott Miskelly, will head up this search.We ask that you pray for our young people and for our new youth
