Youth and Education
"Youth ministry: we're not in it for the income, we're in it for the outcome." We take pride in how much our children learn and grow during their time here. We learn about God and how we can serve, and play and have fun. Advent hosts Vacation Bible School, family game nights, lock ins, and service projects. Join us!
