High School Ministry

High School Events
We have several opportunities for high school students to gather in community during the school year:
  • Wednesday nights from 7:00 to 8:30 we are at the lighthouse (just south of the church). Wednesdays are a time for us to gather together for group discussions and growing in faith through God's Word.  
  • Sundays: We try to gather on Sunday at least once a month for a fun activity or service project around the Des Moines area.
You are invited to join us for any of these nights; there is no need to register. You are welcome anytime.  Friends are always welcome!
