R.O.P.E Youth Ministry

R.O.P.E. YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND MENTORING GROUP

Our Youth ministry is designed to equip the next generation.  We want to change how we do community.  This ministry provides a place of longing and being for our youth.  Bridging the gap between adolescence and adulthood can be very scary.  Change is taking place in every department, the physical, the mental and the emotions.  This ministry challenges youth to have confidence in themselves and to embrace change as a means to reach their full potential.  This ministry creates value and self-worth by developing responsibility in today’s youth.
