Merge Morning in the Magnolia Building Second Floor!

Age-level small groups // Practical messages from the Bible // Fun with friends and games // Youth-led Music // Free donuts!

"Not Yet!" We've said it, we've heard it....but what does NOT YET really mean and do for us? In this four-week series, we’ll talk about the questions, fear, frustration and excitement that thinking about our futures can bring.

11 a.m. - Noon



• Art Club - "Merge Creates"- All youth are welcome. No experience is necessary. This is led by Dotti DiFiore, one of our Merge volunteers.

• Youth Band - Make music for Merge. Singers & instrumentalists welcome!

Help Local Foster Kids!



Did you know that most foster kids have to carry their belongings in trash bags when transferring from home to home? Let’s change that!

Merge Youth is partnering with the organization “Its My Bag” to collect gently-used luggage and duffel bags for foster children so that they can have a bag of their own.

Suitcases can be dropped off in the first floor of the Magnolia Building each Sunday during the month of February.

We believe it is important to invest in our students by providing financial support for higher education from eligible high school, college and seminary students.
