TEEN YOUTH GROUP

As teenagers, we know you face a lot of change. These years between childhood and adulthood are full of fun and excitement, but they can also be confusing and overwhelming. Here’s something that never changes—God and His Word. Together we’ll study what God says and learn how these ageless promises apply to the modern issues and decisions you face today. We’d love for you to join us at youth group and the fun activities and service projects we host throughout the year.
Wednesdays, 6:30-8:00 pm.
(Summertime Hour: 7:00-8:00 pm)
SUNDAY MORNING FELLOWSHIP CLASSES

Sundays, 9:30-10:20 am.
Classes for children and teens are divided by age groups to maximize teaching that will help the truths of the Bible be readily grasped and come alive with hands-on learning. Adult classes provide opportunities for continued spiritual development through Bible instruction and discussion, and offer Christian fellowship organized into categories of age or topics of special interest.
ADULT FALL CAMP RETREATS

Need to get away and take some time to be refreshed by God’s Word? Camp Manitoumi's Retreats are designed for each group to be an encouragement and to help you refocus on your relationship with God. Each retreat is filled with plenty of exciting activities, but also includes free time to enjoy games, hiking, fellowship with others, or just relaxing.
