2018 BYC camp |
Youth meet to live out our faith by getting together for meals, service projects, retreats, worship planning, lock-ins, games, and fun. We will meet 2nd Sundays from 5-6:30PM and periodically on Sundays from 12-2PM for lunch and activities. The youth participate fully in the life of our church community by hosting the fall poetry slam, the winter variety show, the spring camp-out, and by providing an annual parent's night out, making food for events, and participating fully in all church-wide events.
