FOURSQUARE YOUTH CHURCH
Where students meet Jesus, experience freedom, discover their purpose,
and are sent to make a difference in the world!
WHO WE ARE
We exist to see students encounter Jesus and be formed by His presence.
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.
