WEEKLY GATHERINGS

SUNDAY MORNING

We understand that navigating Scripture can feel daunting sometimes, but we’re here to help! Our Sunday Morning program is designed to equip students with the tools and confidence needed to explore God’s word faithfully. Through engaging discussions, interactive activities, and supportive guidance from our leaders, teens discover the relevance and beauty of Scripture in their lives. Join us as we journey together in discovering the richness of God’s word!
