Over 70 youth and over 25 adults took the faithful and vulnerable step to offer themselves for this service.

The discernment was difficult and rich and called the Youth Ministry Council to dig deep and pray faithfully.

It is our belief that this team represents a depth of leadership that the event requires, as well as the diversity of the church that Jesus calls us to embrace as leaders.
