Middle school

High school

Youth Group
Under the supervision of Youth Director Karma Haller, her husband, Earl, and Hessie Watts, 6th through 12th graders meet every Sunday from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. to talk, play, work and eat. The group plans regular field trips to recreational events and reaches out to help members of the church and community through mission-minded work projects. Adult members of the church provide dinner for the youth after the weekly meetings. Youth group members who are in eighth grade or older may also go on the annual youth mission trip.
