Engaging the Youth
Bo and Heather Ward with Elliott & Issac.
Our youth group meets each year (August to May) on Sunday evenings (6 to 7:30PM). We welcome grades 6 through 12!
We engage hearts and minds through activities such as the Indianapolis Winter Jam concert—which features Christian artists such as KB, Colton Dixon, Micah Tyler, CAIN, Crowder, and more. We also have bowling nights, Christmas parties, and even a Mario Kart tournament—complete with a Mario plush trophy!
It is a privilege and blessing to see Christ grow in young hearts.
