Youth Church Service
Come worship and learn with your generation. This service is not your normal church service! We are an out the box type of youth church; you always expect the gospel to be covey in a fun, radical, real yet motivating way.
Meet us Every Friday Night @ the Lighthouse*
Boyz 2 Men
Boys 2 Men provides the opportunity for our male youth ages 13-18 to think and behave as young men. Our focus is church, home, school, community and how men act in these arenas. There is a process to developing a solid mentality as a Christian man and teens will be held accountable to this process and grow to maturity.
Meets 2nd and 4th Thursdays
Young Ladies of Light
We all have a vision of our dream self, that young lady you’ve always wanted to be. That young lady you’ve always wanted to present to others. Young Ladies of Light will help you to obtain victory over those things that are holding you back through extensive insight, guidance, accountability, support, and healing.
Meets 2nd and 4th Thursdays
Foundation Class
