What is JASS? (pronounced jazz)

1. (noun) Youth, families, and choirs who join together in the afternoon for fun, fellowship and music.
   Hey, we’re going to JASS today!
2. (verb) The fun participation in JASS.
   We’re jassin’!

JASS includes choral groups for kids in Kindergarten through senior high, bell choirs for kids in grades 4 through 12, a recorders class for kids in grades 3 through 5 as preparation for bell choir, senior high youth group, and lunch for all JASS participants and their families.

Senior high youth group meets weekly, 11:30 a.m.–1 p.m. in the Youth Room for highs and lows, games, devotions, and fun.

In addition to children’s and youth ministries, we have several JASS parent/adult groups meeting in the early afternoon, 12:15–2:45 p.m. with opportunities to expand! Groups formulated at this time include a walking group, a church maintenance group, a Christmas costume repair group, and the Broncos Club which watches games and cheers on the Broncos together as a church family!
