God’s Go-Getters is a welcoming class for pre-teens and teens. The Go-Getters gather and discuss how God’s presence impacts their lives. Group discussions often focus on family and community dynamics. Youth explore ways that they can share God’s love and support with others. The group takes trips and outing in the community.
