Our mission:
Our mission:
As a Ministry for youth and by youth we seek to encounter Christ through service, scripture, community and prayer. We believe that Jesus calls each of us into a daring, personal relationship that offers unconditional love and transformation for EVERYONE. We claim Christ's redemptive story as our own and we desire to share God's great story with others (while having lots of fun). Come and be a storyteller with us! We need your help.
THIS YEAR'S THEME: Everything!
Is God only meant to be worshiped on Sundays?
Can Jesus really have something to say about my 3rd period class?
In the Letter to the Philippians the author, Paul, tells his congregation that everything must be given over to God. He writes, "Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:6-7).
In this act of giving every bit of ourselves over to our Lord He will grant us with a deep and resonating peace. Sounds good, right?
Over the course of this year we will meet weekly to discuss, explore, question and investigate our lives and the ways in which God calls us through the power of the cross to seek Him. What does it mean to pick up our cross and how is life in Christ different than life in the world? Come and ask questions and seek!
