Here are the Best Ways to Get Connected:

High School Service

Who are your people? We know it’s important to be connected, but it’s hard to build lasting friendships. What if taking one simple step changed everything? Join us for high school service on Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:30 to grow closer to Jesus and others. Find more information HERE.

Student Events

 

Vanguard Students hosts multiple events throughout the year to help students grow closer to Jesus and to others. We would love to have your student join us at our next event.
