  • A Message from Your DCE

    Youth & Young Adult Ministry

    After being here 3 years (how has it been that long already?!), one of my greatest desires is for an expanded youth/young adult team. I'm so grateful to Bethany, Ben, Adam, Sam, our pastors, Val, and Patrick for all the ways they've invested in these ministries. I would love to grow our resource bank, and that's where YOU come in! 


    Please check out the Youth and Young Adult Ministry Team form to let me know how you would like to offer support. Some commitments are small (less than 1x/week or 1x/month).

    Having a list of team members to contact would be an asset to me and to those we serve as we walk TOGETHER in Christ. Your partnership in these ministries will be a huge blessing! ~Sina
