Our Harrisburg youth group is an important part of our Church. We see the purpose of this ministry as laying the groundwork of Christian maturity in the hearts of our teens. We want our teens to be prepared for a life of following Christ. Youth will be given opportunities to build lasting relationships, learn how to apply God’s word to their lives, serve others, share their faith and have fun while they are doing it. Our ultimate goal is to help them establish a passionate relationship with Jesus Christ that will equip them for every aspect of their lives.
