There’s something for everyone! Our programs and activities provide opportunities for individuals to feel a sense of family while developing their personal awareness of God’s guidance in their lives. At Asbury, it’s easy to make friends and build faith-based relationships. We want everyone in Jefferson County to have a chance to experience a circle of friends where their own lives can be embraced while experiencing joy and growing in faith.
For more group opportunities, please be sure to check out Children/Youth and Musical Ministries.
