Paul Gatlin: Vice President of Commissions

Communal Division

The New Testament church proves that the Spirit of God moves through fellowship just as much as through worship. In the International Youth Department, we pride ourselves on providing quality worship experiences. However, we also pride ourselves in providing a quality community where youth and young adults can connect when the worship service has ended. The Communal Division is committed to providing fun and fellowship.
