Youth and Children
Welcome to Hollowell Youth & Children's Program
Welcome! We’re excited that you’re here and invite you to become part of our growing community.
The Hollowell Youth & Children’s Program is dedicated to providing a safe, welcoming, and Christ-centered environment where children and youth can grow in faith, build meaningful friendships, and discover their God-given purpose. Through engaging Bible lessons, worship, fun activities, service opportunities, and special events, we encourage every young person to develop a strong relationship with Jesus Christ while growing in confidence, character, and compassion.
Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning each week, you’ll find a place where everyone is welcomed, valued, and encouraged to learn, grow, and serve together.
We look forward to meeting you and your family and sharing this exciting journey of faith with you.
Join us and discover a place where faith grows, friendships flourish, and every child and young person belongs.
