WHAT WE DO
Serving Christ.
Serving Each Other. Changing the World.
We design and run programs for students and young adults that empower them in their journey with Christ. From yearly events like Teen Camp and Winter Retreat to once in a lifetime events like Nazarene Youth Conference, we seek to provide opportunities for students to grow into a faith of their own. We want to see teens become lifelong disciples of Jesus.
