Youth With Purpose: This group meets twice a month on Monday evenings from 7pm – 8:30pm. The age group targeted is 5^th – 7^th graders. When you use high-energy and high-octane games mixed with a short message/bible study and throw in some snacks and other surprises, you end up with one outstanding evening. Throughout the year we will participate in various special events and service projects as well. The goal for this group is to develop relationships with each other and prepare them spiritually for the Confirmation program.

Confirmation: The beginning of a lifetime of service and continued learning. It is the beginning of each student’s walk as a Christian. This year-long program is designed to educate students on the basics of Christian living and to provide them with a sturdy foundation of Christianity for them to build upon as they go throughout their life. We encourage the students to ask questions, to disagree and to discuss. We help each student develop their own personal statement of faith while incorporating the importance of actively participating in a community of believers. The class meets weekly during the school year on Sunday mornings from 10am – 11am. Periodically we will take field trips to churches of various denominations and we take a fall and spring retreat to foster relationship building and teamwork.

Senior High: Targeting youth in grades 9^th – 12^th, SHF is designed to engage the youth in discussions and activities around relevant topics to their lives and the world they live in. Sometimes we bring in speakers, sometimes we go on field trips, but we always remember to keep God the focus of all we do. Our mission trips are life changing, our activities are fueled by laughter and loads of fun and our goals are clear. We strive to prepare are youth for a rapidly changing and challenging global world. We teach them ways to stay faithful while being faced with challenges and temptation around every turn.
