The Genesis Youth Group is for young people in grades 9-12. They meet on Sunday evenings, beginning at 6:00 with a light supper. Their regular meeting and program time is from 6:30-7:30. David and Lynne are assisted by Roger Lackey, Hoy Yarborough and Nellie and John Burkett. The Genesis youth and their leaders believe an active youth ministry will aid in the spiritual growth of our young people, it will involve them in the work and ministry of the church, and will provide for them a time of fellowship, fun, recreation, service and Christian education. .Below is a list of Genesis' activities, accomplishments and services to/for the church.
