Plus…it’s fun!
We have groups for writers and prayers, young dads and middler moms,
senior women, and hungry men, missionaries and young adults, inquiring youth and rambunctious children!
Don’t see a group that tickles your fancy?
Start one! Simply stop in the office or email with your idea and we’ll resource you with all you’ll need to get it off and running.
What’s the Point??
Our mission is to provide a safe place for all youth, to love people for who they are,
while making life long disciples after God’s own heart.
