HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT MINISTRY

9th-12th Grade

Our role with HS students is to help them imagine and realize God's purpose for their lives.  We accompany them on this journey through opportunities of small groups, Bible study, service opportunities, camps and mission trips. Contact Amanda Boe, CYF Director if you would like to participate in youth activities and programs. amanda@sjlcl.org
