Connect, Serve, Experience...         

Connect with God  We look at youth group as your time with God, and we employ a variety of methods to connect with God.  We learn ancient practices of the Christian faith, we explore modern culture, and we use a variety of media experiences.  Take time to pursue the most important relationship in life: you and God.

Connect with Others  Relationships are a big deal.  We put a high priority on sharing and support.  At Catalina youth group you will have the opportunity to meet and get to know students who are going through the same things you are; friends with whom you can share your feelings and thoughts.  How do we connect with others?  We allow for lots of hang out time in our program.  We give you lots of opportunities to talk and share.  We take you on trips together. 

Serve  An old hymn of the church says, "This is my Father's world..."  But it usually doesn't seem like it.  Suffering, need, hurt, and injustice surround us and threaten to overwhelm us.  The good news is that you and I can do something about it. 
At Catalina we will offer a variety of opportunities to help others and serve God.
