"Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity show yourself as an example to those who believe." - 1 Timothy 4:12 
4:12 is Christian adults in their twenties and thirties experiencing ministries through a balance of fellowship, life-sharing, spiritual growth, and outreach. Join us every month throughout the year for a variety of events from hayrides to bowling, to a Operation Donation service project and more. 4:12 offers great opportunities to meet other people and see where they are in their lives. The best way to feel a part of things is to get involved! | Jeff Backer is leading a Bible study called Theology on Tap aimed at young adults. The group gets together for camaraderie and conversation centered on scripture, theology and life. It takes place the third Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. Check out their Facebook group. Call Marnie Dahle Backer at (605)339-1983, ext. 204, with questions.
