“My son has been in the Emmanuel youth group for two years and has benefited immensely from the community and friendships he has found there. Dustin and Haley and everyone at Emmanuel do such an intentional ministry of pouring into the youth in a special way. There is intense Bible study, so much laughter and always a new idea of engaging with kids in a way that they will connect with and understand. I would recommend this youth group, and often do, to anyone around!"
Sarah S.
PARENT
“The youth group, ever since Pastor Dustin came here, has really grown in how much spiritual growth the youth are receiving. I personally have felt my relationship to God grow much more in this short time than I have ever experienced before. There are a lot more active kids in the group than there were before, so there's always more to take in even from peers. Overall, I really enjoy this group and what Pastor Dustin has done to improve it."

“The Luminate youth group is a wonderful group of people. I have met some of my closest friends, many great leaders and have made lots of great memories. Pastor Dustin has helped me learn so much about God and the Bible. Dustin has also given all of us great opportunities to go places like New Mexico and Estes Park for summer camp, a concert in Nebraska and many other places. I am not looking forward to graduating out of the group, but the stuff I have learned at youth group I will remember for a long time!"
