Youth Ministry Wish List
Supporting the teens in our parish is crucial, and we’re reaching out to you for assistance. Check out our pages below for our Wish List, providing specific needs for teens to attend events throughout the year and summer beyond what Bayou Bash provides. Also, learn about our Money Wall, covering transportation costs for our summer programs.
Please share this with friends and help us help our young people! Thank you for all of your support.
There are many ways to volunteer with the youth ministry program and even more ways to support, but we ask anyone who visits this site or has an interest in the young church to pray for them! Pray for us! Pray for the ministry!
