Short-term Class
Faith They’ll Keep After High School
Our mission at Arapaho Youth is to help students build a Christian foundation, the beginning of a faith that lasts their entire lives. How do families and churches build that kind of foundation? Together we’ll look at the practices that produce a ‘sticky faith’ and talk about how to apply them at church and in our homes.
Led by David Finley

#Arapahoyouth Hit The Wall
#Arapahoyouth and their parents are invited to come and “Hit The Wall.” Participants will hear a provocative statement and use sticky notes to put ideas on the wall. This enjoyable event challenges youth and parents to react, have questions, use scripture and spark conversation based on what is on the wall.
