Joe and Kathy Padgett are our Youth Group Leaders who stay very busy planning activities for our children and youth. The children and youth meet most Wednesday evenings at 7:15 p.m. after their 6:30 p.m.choir practice. There are Mission Friends, two groups of GAs, two groups of RAs, middle school, high school, and college groups
Joe and Kathy plan with the different group leaders to do several service projects each year as well as many fun activities. Some of the youth service projects are working at the Hightower Food/Clothing Bank, Operation Christmas Child shoebox collections and packing, nursing home visits, grandparent breakfast, pastor appreciation, community thanksgiving baskets, Relay for Life Survivor Dinner, etc. The Middle School, High School, and College Groups have Celebration Trips in late winter or early spring. The younger youth have lock-ins, camping, and other fun events such as Halloween parties.
