Youth Band
Calling all 9th–12th grade musicians! Join Ms. Allison in the Youth Space on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month, starting February 2, from 3:00 to 4:00 PM. This is a fun and creative opportunity to practice and play both worship and secular songs in a supportive environment. Whether you’re looking to grow your skills or simply enjoy making music with friends, we’d love to see you there!

This summer our students are going to have a blast at Ozark Mission Project's Benton Mission Week. This is an overnight event. OMP's flagship project is constructing wheelchair ramps and it is a great opportunity to serve our neighbors in Benton and hone our youth's construction skills.
