About arrwhd yth
ARRWHD YTH gathers together on Wednesday nights for a high-energy event called Fuse. Fuse is from 6:30-8:15pm and it’s hosted at the church. We spend time in fellowship, eat food together, play fun games, worship, listen to a sermon, and connect with small groups.
The Why
We want students to have fun, but most importantly, to grow in their understanding of the gospel of Jesus. The gospel shapes everything we do at YTH because we truly believe that it's the only thing in the universe that will change a life. We are passionate about students encountering the gospel and taking their next steps with Jesus. One of the ways we accomplish this is through our events and programming. The page you are now on exists to equip you about all of our events and the details that you need to know in as far in advance as possible. We hope this helps!
