The Youth Department is led by First Lady Sarah Rivers and our Youth Director & musician, Joy Rivers.  The purpose of this department is to engage the youth in both spiritual and constructive activities that are conducive to a Christian lifestyle.   We believe that our young people should honor and remember God in their youth (Ecclesiastes 12:1).   The fellowship of this department includes youth services, youth prayer, annual fun park outings, bible challenges, etc.
