“Many years ago,” Joshua and Cyndi Carranza met and became friends in the Grace and Life Youth group. Their relationship became more serious after high school, and they married a year later. They now have four children following in their footsteps and growing up in the church. They teach by word and example what God can do when a young person gives their heart to Jesus! They are a blessing from God!

Every Sunday, the youth study the Bible and learn how to apply its truths and principles to everyday life. All teachings point the youth to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and emphasize the spiritual disciplines needed to grow our faith in Him. In a world filled with confusion, we provide an approach that reveals Scriptural Truth, gives them tools to defend their faith, and deepens their friendship with God.

It is so challenging for today’s youth to find a safe space to be themselves. This is even more complicated when they are Christian believers in a secular school. We give youth, ages 13 - 19, that space where they are accepted and belong. No one is left out, no one is rejected, and everybody is respected. Furthermore, the opportunity to make lifelong quality friends is ready and available.

Once per month, a fun youth activity is planned and conducted. Past events include church slumber parties, movie nights, ice skating trips, bowling excursions, and game nights. Our youth leaders and adult chaperones monitor all events to ensure the safety and inclusion of all our youth. It is during these times that lifelong friendships and memories are made. We like to have fun, and we invite you to join us!
