Welcome to Abundant Life Youth Group

Our Mission

At Abundant Life Youth, our mission is to lead students into a genuine and lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe that faith isn’t just for Sunday mornings—it’s for everyday life. Through engaging teaching, meaningful relationships, and real-life application, we help students understand who God is and how His Word transforms the way they live.

Whether your teen is exploring faith for the first time or growing in spiritual maturity, there’s a place for them here. We want every student to know they are valued, loved, and invited to experience life to the fullest in Christ.
