Teen Ministry
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." Deuteronomy 6:4-9
The Teen Ministry is devoted to helping the students in our church to achieve a strong relationship with God and one another. The desire of the teens is to develop strong relationships with one another, enhance personal spiritual growth, participate in a variety of fun activities, while being an example to the world around us.
We are excited to announce Mark and Jami Johnson are our Teen Sheparding Couple. Our focus has been shifting from a youth only ministry to a family ministry where we focus on the family structure as the primary means of spiritual development.

Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations
by Alex and Brett Harris, forward by Chuck Norris
Do Hard Things is easy to read, but it will challenge you to the core. It is inspiring, insightful, and practical. Parents, this book will get your teens into the right kind of trouble — the kind that comes when they dream, take risks for God, and dare to flout the status quo. Put it in their hands. Read it yourself. It's never too late to do hard things.
This book is a refreshing wake up call to our generation. We can do hard things; and give ourselves to something huge for the Kingdom of God!
