Higher Ground is an opportunity for young musicians (grades 6-12) to praise God with contemporary Christian music while learning to play in a group. Higher Ground provides the musical portion of worship leadership for Youth Group on Sunday evenings.

Rehearsals take place in the sanctuary on Sunday afternoons from 2:30-3:30 p.m and Monday evenings from 8-9pm. Contact Liz Fryer using the button below for more information about Higher Ground.
