Rooted in Christ.
Growing in faith.
Walking with students as they get to know Jesus.
Our Youth Ministry is a vibrant, Christ-centred community where students in grades 6-8 are encouraged to grow in their faith, build authentic relationships, and discover their God-given purpose.
We’re committed to creating a safe space where students can ask hard questions and share their life experiences in small group discussions, and learn to deal with life’s challenges in Christ-centred ways.

Friday, October 3 – Sunday, October 5
We are so excited to spend the weekend building deeper community, playing unforgettable games, diving into God’s Word, and soaking up the best parts of fall – bonfires, chill vibes, and seriously good food.
Don't miss out—be part of the fun!
Resources as we grow in Jesus.
For the next four weeks, we are focusing on how Jesus’ story gives us hope, help, and purpose.
Over the next few weeks, students will walk through:
Jesus is the Person who gives us hope.
If you want to love like Jesus, serve like Jesus.
Jesus’ comeback backs up everything He said.
Living for Jesus means loving like Jesus.
Your time with God.
Time spent in God's Word is everything.
Without it, we don't grow.
Check out these helpful links from our team to fire up your time with God.
Daily devotionals are a simple way to spend time with God every day. It’s like having a quick, meaningful chat with God to help you grow closer to Him and stay focused on Him during your day.
