Just as an anchor holds a ship steady in changing waters,
The Anchor Teen Center will provide a safe and steady place for teens.
What is The Anchor
Safety
The Anchor Teen Center will provide Teens ages 11 – 17 with a place they can call their own. A place without worry or concern. A place to find rest from the storms of life.
Belonging
The Anchor provides the opportunity to relax and have fun in addition to building community and finding purpose. We believe God has a purpose for everyone and knowing your purpose fills you with belonging and drive.
Fun
We all have thoughts on what is important for teens and what they need. We want this to be a place they can enjoy themselves, somewhere they want to be. Games, Food, Friends, and relaxation.
Mentorship
Positive Adult role models will be at the teen center at all times to ensure safety and to connect with each and every teen. Our mentors are the heart of the teen center.
