LaGrange District Youth Leadership Council
Taressa Thompson, District Youth/Children Coordinator, is in the process of forming this group which will be made up of 12 youth and 2 additional adults. The council will help youth be involved in local church and district events and will help plan special events just for youth. Youth who wish to serve on the leadership council, must complete an application and return it to the District Office. You can download a copy of an informational brochure and the application form. All churches are required to have in place a Safe Santuary policy for the prevention of and report of child sexual abuse.
