Celebration Evening 2026

Young Leaders - Let's Celebrate 2026! It has been an amazing, full-on year of ministry and we want to celebrate! Whether you've helped bring big events to life, led a local youth ministry, or shown kindness in small but powerful ways, we want to honor you and all you’ve done for our young people! Join us for a special evening of celebration. This will be a relaxed, joy-filled evening with drinks, delicious canapés, and a chance to give thanks for all that God has done through our ministries in 2026.
