Middle & High School Youth Ministry

"As Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another" - Proverbs 27:17

We love our Middle and High school students! They are actively wrestling through their faith, adolescence, friendships, and trying to understand who they are. This is such a crucial time in their lives and we are honored to partner with parents to provide an environment where the students can seek answers to those huge questions through God's Word! The teenage years can be isolating and we strive to provide an environment where teens can have fulfilling relationships and friendships with each other—and even more with Jesus Christ—as they realize they are not alone while navigating their Middle and High school years. We love connecting them with other Christians that are striving after Christ at our Innermission Youth Group on Monday evenings. See more below!

YOUTH GROUP: "INNERMISSION"

Monday Nights | September 9th 2024 - May 19th 2025 | 6:30pm - 8:30pm

"Innermission" is our Youth Group for Middle and High school students. You do not have to go to Southwest Hills to attend Innermission!  We fully believe that every student has an "inner mission", which is to follow God through faith in Jesus Christ alone. This starts with them understanding truth and having a saving faith in Christ, which leads to applying it in their lives by loving others, sharing the Gospel, and living out the Great Commission.

Community, Small Groups, Teaching, & Worship

Our desire is to raise up our youth with skills for them to be leaders in their community and churches well past their high school years.  For this reason, we have a youth leadership team (consisting of Juniors and Seniors) that lead most aspects of our Monday night gatherings including small groups, worship, and prayer. Our adult leaders partner with the youth leadership team to disciple them as they lead.
