Cottage Grove Kids

Wednesdays at 7:00-8:30p

Cottage Grove Youth is a part of the Family Ministry and exists to raise the next generation to Know, Love, and Follow Jesus. We aim to do this through teaching simple truths & inspiring active and bold faith. 

We meet every Wednesday night to worship Jesus through song, to learn from his Word through messages, and to grow in relationship with peers in small groups. Our desire is to create a space where 6th-12th graders feel like they can belong and experience the gospel.
