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!

 IGNITE: YOUTH SUNDAY MORNING

Sunday Mornings | September 2026 - June 2027 | 10:45am

Ignite is the Sunday morning ministry to high school and middle school students. Led by Pastor Kerry and his wife, Rosalie, we meet at 10:45am in room 217 for fellowship, snacks, and interactive discussions on current events and the bible. This year we’ll be reading through the book of Acts, seeking to be encouraged by how God’s church grew and how we can apply the truths we learn from Acts to how we live today. we hope you’ll join us and ignite your passion to follow Our Great Savior!

YOUTH GROUP: "INNERMISSION"

Monday Nights | September 2026 - June 2027 | 6:30pm - 8:30pm

The goal of Innermission, our Monday night youth group, is to build relationship with God and community with each other. In Acts 2, Peter delivers a message from God and 3,000 people are saved. Here is their response:
42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
We desire to build this type of community by studying the Word together and in small group discussions.

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.
