Twelfth Ave CRC is home for two very charismatic youth groups. Both are firmly based on what the Bible teaches, striving to show kids how to live a christian life despite what the world tells them. The goals of these ministries are those given directly from Jesus himself: Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind; and then to love your neighbor as yourself.
