Welcome to the DCY Landing Page!
DCY is the youth group of Destiny Church in Joplin, MO!
Students 6th Grade through 12th Grade are welcome to join!
When do we meet? Sundays at 4:00 PM!
A note from Pastor Cameron and Erin Bartmess -
What's Up DCY students and families?! We are hoping this page will help you find upcoming events, sign-ups, and more information all in one place! Here is a little of our heart behind youth: We strive to provide a safe place for students to come and build relationships with each other and with Christ. Our goal is for students 6th grade+ to enter and leave youth group as a Senior in High School on FIRE for Jesus, have a community built around them, and have built lifelong friendships throughout their time in DCY. We believe God has HUGE things for DCY and the best is still yet to come! We are praying for each of you EVERY day! We love you!!
Check out the list below for things coming up in youth!
