Raising Up Parents

Parenting has always been a difficult job, and it doesn't seem to be getting any easier. As parents, we are well aware of the influence the world continually exerts on our children and, in turn, the pressure this places on us as parents. Christian values and biblical truths do not always coincide with the worldview. This pulling from opposite directions can place a tremendous amount of stress on youth and their family. This is our way of helping you cope with this stress. This group can be a great source of support and fellowship.


Youth and Family Events for the Entire Congregation

  • Making sandwiches for Martha's Table

  • Operation Sharehouse: the youth and this congregation raised $3,750 and packaged 15,000 meals in 2011
