Reaching Beyond the Church

Our vision extends beyond Sunday mornings, as we strive to make a lasting impact on our youth throughout their daily lives:
  • Strengthen outreach beyond church through schools, homes, and extracurricular activities.
  • Establish an active presence on social media to connect with youth where they are.
  • Develop post-pandemic strategies to engage youth in meaningful ways.
