YOUTH STAFF
We are fortunate to have college students from Augustana College that help us in our youth and children programs. They are invaluable in connecting with the kids and allowing us to reach more with the key faith messages for that ministry. They cover a wide variety of roles and are very passionate about helping kids grow their faith. Each one has had their own faith journey and wants to help others get a solid foundation before going out on the world on their own.
