Youth Sunday School
Youth Sunday School is for everyone in grades 6-12. Class begins at 9:00 am in Dickman Hall Room 6. We'll look at a variety of topics including the Gospel story, ask questions we may have about Christianity, and explore themes often found in the bible. Students are encouraged to give their own input for topics. We will end a little early to allow for participation in kids choir, AV, and more.
Wednesday
evening
Youth Group will happen on the same day as The Well. Students in grades 6-12 are welcome to join for dinner before moving onto our own activities. This will be a balance of community building, games, and serious study time. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions and look deeper into faith, philosophy, scripture, and more.

Time and Location: 6:00pm – 8:00pm;
Fellowship Hall, Dickman Hall room 6, and the gym
