You can look in the Mission and Outreach link for more information.  Mission Trips and retreats are always mentioned in advance at youth group on Sundays.  Watch for deadlines because space is limited!

How can I get into a small group?

You can get plugged into a small group by either:

If you are in 7th-9th grade you need to talk to Donn or Laurie, or come on a consistent basis

If you are in 10th-12th grade then you need to fill out an Accountability form and turn it in to Laurie.  They are located outside the youth office.
