St. Francis Youth Group is a place for Middle and High School students to come together, have fun, and grow in faith. Through a combination of games, group outings, retreats, missions, Bible study and worship, we are able to connect with each other, with our community, and with God in a variety of ways. We offer opportunities to have open and honest discussion, ask questions, work through our doubts, and grow deeper in our faith. Our hope is that we are able to provide a little something for everyone, and that every young person that walks through our doors feels safe and welcome, and that through every encounter, they know the love of Jesus, and wish to spread that love throughout the world.

Fall Retreat - Camp Tekoa
Dates to be determined.......
We are planning morning and evening devotions,
camp activities, games, worship, s'mores, and lots of fun.
Each year, we go to Camp Tekoa in Hendersonville for our fall retreat. This is a spirit-filled weekend of rest, relaxation, and fun! We enjoy the beauty of God's creation in the Blue Ridge Mountains, play games, sing songs, and spend time in devotion and prayer with one another. This is a great weekend of bonding and growth for our youth and is typically the weekend before Thanksgiving.
