Archangels:  “Defenders of the Spirit; working through the hands of Christ.”  Just like the archangels, we strive to be messengers and helpers of God.  Our mission includes beautifying our school campus by decorating our prayer garden with individuality, helping our community by participating in a blue jean drive with St. Vincent de Paul, and showing our spirituality by buying a special prayer box for our new middle school building.  In Archangels we also know how to have a great time; we have weekly fellowship meetings and enjoy going to concerts, like MercyMe. Archangels is an inspiring and spiritual club that welcomes any follower of Christ.
