Question: What are the ages involved?

Answer: If you are in high school, then you belong HERE :-)

Question: What's different about what you do compared to other churches?

Answer: As the ultimate goal is to give these kids an experience with Jesus, everything that we do is helping to create this environment.  I believe there are four areas that need to be covered in order to create a well-rounded youth ministry for these kids...

Worship - reaching up (connecting to God)

Discipleship - reaching in (personal spiritual growth)

Fellowship - reaching across (connecting with those around you who are ALSO pursuing God)

Evangelism - reaching out (sharing with other what God has given you)

Question: Who's in charge?  How to contact?

Answer: My name is Pastor Steve Carlson and I am the youth pastor for the place.  It has been an AMAZING experience working with the youth of "The Place" for the last couple years.  If you ever have any questions, concerns, thoughts, or ideas, please don't hesitate to contact me.
