Youth Ministry

Beyond

Beyond is designed for those who desire to take truth and their faith beyond the comfort of home and to learn how to live for God.

Info...
This is for 8th graders and older who are interested in learning more about their faith and how to grow closer to God everyday. Information meeting will be in January 2003. Beyond includes 6-7 meetings, a local weekend retreat the first weekend of school and Confirmation Sunday the beginning of the school year.

Once you were dead, doomed forever because of your many sins… But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even while we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead.
Ephesians 2:1,4-5
