Reid Youth Ministries
Our purpose is to be filled by God's grace, poured out in service, together in joy!
We are called to seek opportunities to learn and be filled with God’s love and grace and share that love in service and outreach to others. Connecting it all, our fellowship together is characterized by joy and welcome.
When we gather together in Christ’s name we are called to reach out to each other, encourage one another, and treat each other with the love that Jesus modeled for us.
