youth ministry for grades 5-12

Sundays from 3:00-4:30 PM

Grades 5-6: Ignite

Ignite is a subgroup of Young Church for grades 5-6 . It meets on Sundays from 3:00-4:30 PM in the Parish Life Center. Activities include snacks, games, faith-based activities, worship, short teachings, and small group discussion. Ignite is designed to help 5th and 6th graders adjust to the youth group format of Young Church, where young people are encouraged to take greater ownership over their faith!

Grades 7-8 & 9-12

Sundays from 6:00-8:00 PM

Middle School and High School youth gather for Young Church on Sunday nights from 6:00-8:00 PM in the Parish Life Center. All are welcome to join us for food, social time, and games, followed by worship, a teaching about our faith, small group discussion, and prayer. We begin the night together in the same room, then split into middle school and high school for the teaching and small group discussion.
