(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I have a grandson that attends there and I wish you had the Fellowship of Christian
Teens group at the school so the Christian kids could group together and encourage each other. I've seen what a difference God's love makes in the life of teenagers and adults. I'm praying you'll consider looking into this group.
