Greetings!

Your support and sponsorship of the Youth Enrichment Center is invaluable to us!

No matter the challenges … our goals remain the same:

Serve the Youth in our communities
Create an environment open to all
Provide opportunities for young people to Thrive

Our original goal of opening in the fall of 2020 … then 2021 … came and went. WAY too many challenges in the last two years! As of this writing, construction is complete thanks to the generous support of many. We are now working on the finishing touches with additional furniture, games and supplies.

We don’t want to wait until everything is “perfect”! Instead, we plan on opening to serve as we can in the next 60 days. Initially, we are offering the Youth Center to groups in need of a large area for functions and meetings. Groups like: scout groups, church youth groups, school club groups, service organizations etc. will find the space perfect!

In addition, we offer the use of the facility to families for group events they cannot accommodate in their homes. Birthday parties, graduation parties, family reunions, baby showers are just a few of the events that might be suited for the space.

We have many details to work out. As we do, we solicit your input and suggestions… as well as your continued prayers and support. Opening in this way will grow awareness and support for the Youth Enrichment Center and enable us to transition into a more traditional “Teen Center” sooner rather than later.

An Open House is coming in April
