Youth

Youth here are really busy with amazingly fun activities. We meet weekly for Sunday school and youth group. We even have a band just for youth! If you are interested in learning more about God and your faith, you can go through confirmation or join the youth Discipleship class.

If you want to have some fun and deepen your relationship with God at the same time, we go to several special youth events and retreats every year.

If you want to help out in the community, we participate in the family kitchen right here in Bend.

Meet your youth directors!
