Prayer Workshop: Joy in the Waiting
Have you ever grown discouraged and forgotten by God because your prayers continue to go unanswered?

Teen Breakout: Joy in Yourself
One scroll on Instagram or ten minutes in the school cafeteria can easily make you feel like you don’t fit in or measure up. In a culture that is consumed with social status and physical appearance, it can be difficult to see ourselves the way God does. Join us and learn how to find joy in who God made you to be. This breakout is designed specifically for girls in middle school & high school.
