The youth group, called “Youth Alive,” meets almost every Sunday evening from 6-8pm during the school year.  The time is divided between games, fun activities, and Biblical lessons (typically a DVD series).    The youth group welcomes students from grades 6-12.    A calendar of events is available by Clicking Here.  Adam Shelton does the majority of the communication of events and reminders through text messaging.

Every summer, the youth participate in a 6 day mission trip somewhere within the United States.  Adam has led 9 mission trips to places like Nashville, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, and PittsburgH.  The mission trips are organized through a national organization called Group Mission Trips.  The cost of the mission trip is typically covered through a couple different fundraisers throughout the year.  The cost to families is $50 unless enough funds are not raised.  You can find out more at www.groupmissiontrips.com
