Youth at Epiphany
Welcome!
Greetings, friends. Welcome to the Epiphany Youth Program. In addition to the calendar, special events, and other programs on this page, I want you to know that your young people are already welcome and belong here. Truly, we have been waiting on you. All young people from 5th grade through 12th grade will find this program and the leaders herein to be a place where we are ready to help them:
- Feel loved and accepted in their uniqueness; just as they are.
2. Feel encouraged to grow in knowledge of themselves and Jesus.
3. Learn how to love themselves and others with that same accepting grace.
I hope to have an opportunity to meet and connect with each of you. Until then, be present where you are and be reminded that you are enough. Blessings to you.
-D'Waughn
