The ministry leader will follow up with information about ministry requirements and meeting times.

The Discovery classes are offered on the third Sunday of each month at 3:00 p.m. Super Saturday Classes are available so that those with busy schedules can block off one day, spend it at the church in class and complete all four classes in one day. We provide meals, snacks and materials. Your teen should call to pre-register at 614-930-2200, 454.

MY TEEN DOES NOT LIKE CHURCH. WHAT DO I DO?
Sometimes the church setting can be overwhelming, particularly if your teen is new and has not yet made friends at church. Please encourage her to attend our youth small groups, youth events and group activities. As your teen meets new people and makes friends, the church environment will be more inviting and she will begin to enjoy her church experience more. Also, please spend two minutes each day praying with your teen. It will do wonders for your family and for your teen to feel more comfortable in the church environment. Pray for health, wisdom, guidance and understanding. Call us if you need more assistance at 614-930-2200, 454.
