What We’re About:
We at Mt. Baker Youth Group believe God is present and at work in our lives. We believe we experience God most powerfully through relationships. It is our goal to create a space through Youth Group for students to experience God in relationship.
Quite often, this takes the form of hanging out and watching a movie, getting together for a cup of coffee, playing board games, or playing a massive game of dodgeball in the basement. But it is our hope to also turn the attention of the group to questions like, “How is God at work in my life?” or, “Why does it matter to me if there is a God who loves me?” These are important questions, and we spend time discussing them together.
Vision:
In general, our vision as a youth group is to teach about truth in a way that is new, inoffensive, and implicit.
