At Ionia First, we feel that the reign of God is both a present

and a future reality.

We are committed to our youth programs,for it is only

through our younger members that this reign will be assured.

We understand that the needs and interests of the new generation

need fresh ideas and modern ways to guide them into a spiritual

connection with the Almighty.

Our youth staff, directed by Beverly Brown, offers a wide range

of programs designed to appeal to several age groups.
