Expectations for Junior and Senior High Youth Groups
St. Andrew Junior High Youth Group is for grades 6-8. During the school year, we offer weekly meetings. The meeting time includes fellowship, recreation, worship, prayer and discussion-based Bible Study. In everything we do we try to relate the Bible and it’s teachings to everyday life.
We also do service projects, Christian concerts and special events as we learn to serve God, his Church, and others–all while having a good time!
Come join us!
