EVERY GENERATION EMPOWERED FOR SERVICE
At Younger Generation Church we believe we are blessed when all ages are engaged in the worship of and service to Christ Jesus.

A future-focused church sets it trajectory not only by what it plans to do tomorrow, but also by their intentional actions in the present. And if these youth and young adults are any indication, the future is bright. #BeJesus #BeYG
