Youth Group
2020-12-13 19:30 - 20:30 | Online and In-Person Meeting
Youth Group is a safe place where youth learn how to integrate God’s story into their understanding of the world and their own lives. Each person is celebrated for who they are as an individual and as an integral part of our diverse community. Youth are equipped with a variety of exploratory and meditative tools to engage with Jesus and tell their own stories, as they work to make earth more like heaven.

Youth Pastor Tory Tolles and her team are connecting with Youth Group members in-person and organizing a variety of virtual gatherings. Email her at tory@reservoirchurch.org to connect with the community.
