COFS understands the importance of youth in our church and community. Their unique perspective, adaptability, creativity and energy bring vibrancy and excitement to the life and ministries of the church.

We strive to give teens:
​

• ​experiences that let them to do good and  give to our community, as they build their faith and learn what it means to be a disciple of Jesus

• the spiritual tools to equip them as they face a world full of uncertainty, anxiety and complexity

• a safe and inclusive environment where they can feel free to be themselves, be involved, and have fun 

Set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith...
