Youth and Family Ministry is in a state of reforming due to the pandemic and the move.
Currently all ages are welcomed into our Sunday Celebration Services at 10:30 am
We have coloring supplies available for them to use.
For toddlers, there is a designated area in the sanctuary with a play pad, toys and upholstered chairs for whomever the toddlers bring with them.
Young people ages 12 and up are welcome to use our Activity Room during Sunday Services.
Our Youth and Family Ministry Coordinator Position: CURRENTLY OPEN
During non-covid times, the YFM team lead (Youth & Family Ministry) meets in conjunction with SAGE (Spiritual Awakening Generates Enlightenment) on the third Sunday of the month, following the Sunday Service.
If you have some ideas and would like to become involved in cocreating our Youth and Family Ministry program, contact Casey Miller mill2634@msu.edu
We are also exploring how we can serve the youth in our neighborhood.
Stay tuned for further developments.
