Synergy

Welcome to Synergy!

Synergy is a youth ministry network based at Grace Church in Verdun.

Our mission statement: To provide a secure and caring Christian community to equip youth to grow in their relationship with Christ.

Youth group takes place weekly from 5:00 to 7:15 PM on Sundays. Typically, this time is filled with games, snacks, and biblical learning.

Come out every Sunday from 5-7:15 pm to our Youthgroup event at Grace Church in Verdun every Sunday! Our typical evening includes a mix of games, snacks, teaching, and small groups.

Ages 12 - 17.

An awesome hangout time, from 3:30 - 5:30 PM on Thursdays. 6th graders and over.

In Youth Group, we are going through a video series titled "A Road Trip to Truth", with John Fabarez. This series highlights how the world has lost its sense of truth, and how we can find it again using the help of God's word.
