Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.  Watch your life and doctrine closely.  Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.                                                                                                                                              1 Tim 4:12 & 16

             IMPACT stands for “In Ministry Participating As Christ-Centered Teens.”  Our youth leaders and I believe that today’s Middle School and High School students have a vital role to play within the church.  So often, teens get overlooked and underestimated.  But the Bible says that youth are not to be looked down on simply because they are young.  Our goal is to help youth understand who they are in Christ and that through the gifts, talents, and abilities God has given them, they can greatly IMPACT the world around them now as teenagers and as they mature toward adulthood.  IMPACT is a family-focused youth ministry where our desire is to team up with parents to bring their children to faith in Jesus Christ and equip them for lifelong ministry within the Body of Christ—the Church.
