Youth Program

Growing up has never been easy, but it comes a lot easier when a young person is part of a supportive Christian fellowship. Youth Program at Emmanuel Community encourages its participants to develop a healthy balance in life: socially, intellectually, and spiritually. To accomplish this the youth activities program offers fun and spirited events, activities and studies for youth 6th to 12th grade. Youth Program provides a safe place for our youth and their friends to grow in their Christian faith.
