DOer Group begins Sunday, September 8th

Meal at 5:30pm, DOer Group Time from 6-8pm

JAMES 1:22 ESV “BUT BE DOERS OF THE WORD, AND NOT HEARERS ONLY…” 

Our approach to ministry is to give students the freedom to experience what we hear from the word of God. We hope to help each person develop an all-encompassing view of what it means to be a follower of Christ. There will be elements of fellowship, worship, prayer, service, study and challenge. We are helping develop DOERS of the WORD!

Sometimes we meet as one big group, other times we split up by grades. Throughout the year, we may take an evening and do a service project together, do an art project together or more. Come ready to enjoy time with friends and most importantly, Jesus.
