Middle School Youth Group

Canadian Wilderness Canoe Trip

Approximately every other year we take a group into the Canadian Wilderness to experience the glory of God’s creation surrounding us in nature. It is a journey of personal discovery as well time spent celebrating the laughter and the fellowship of beloved community. Contact the Church Office if you’d like more information about the next trip (summer 2026).

High School Youth Habitat Trip

Each year we take a group to work with Habitat for Humanity. For the last several years this has been an intergenerational opportunity to provide decent housing for all of God’s people. In 2025 we travelled to Winston Salem, NC in June to work on a number of different houses. We look forward to assembling another team for 2026! Anyone who has completed their Freshman year in High School or older is welcome. click here
