Winter Retreat (Feb. 12-14): We hope you will join us for a weekend of worship, fellowship, teaching and fun! The theme this year will be Encounter.

Friday Night YG(HS Group) "MeThruHim2U: Relating with God"Being in relationship with those within our life is often a difficult endeavor. Not many of us could say that we have an awesome relationship with our parents, friends, siblings, bfs, gfs, and with society in general. God desires for us to have godly relationships so that He might be glorified through us. Our relationships are the platform where God’s love, reconciliation, and holiness are displayed to the world. Through skits, talks, activity and discussion, we will talk about how God could make the most out of our relationships... thru us.
Upcoming FRIDAY NIGHT Schedule:
Have you ever wondered about the following?
Why are my parents so unfair?
Why is it that I was BFF with someone one month, only to be given the cold shoulder a month later?
Why am I always compared to your siblings?
Why do people date and what should I do on dates?
