Lions Youth

Lions Youth is a group of 6th-12th graders and adults devoting ourselves to prayer, to learning God’s word, and to fellowship with one another. LYGers train in righteousness while anticipating the Spirit to faithfully equip us for every good work and we rejoice with all who are new creations through our Lord Jesus Christ. We look forward to joining with you in worship of our God!

Lions Midweek
Wednesday evenings are a time of fellowship and Bible Study as a complete Youth Group. Following midweek meal with our church family, we enjoy time in games before studying our righteousness training.
Sunday Small Groups
Sunday mornings we meet in Small Groups to study individual books of the Bible. Our small groups foster individual relationships as we look to make personal application from God’s word in our lives.

Entrusting the good news of Jesus to the next generation.
