Who We AreWe are youth seeking to fuel the fire for Christ within ourselves. Our ministry is guided by the interests of the young people of our congregation. It is built upon Biblical and theological truths and is centered on community, service, and outreach.

Leighton with Spark and Katelyn with Ignite diving deeper into the lessons, prayer, and fellowship. What We DoWithin the context of fun events and sometimes crazy games and activities both at St. James and in the community, the kids are encouraged to engage in hands-on exploration of their faith.
Our goal is to provide youth with a safe, welcoming environment, which provides the freedom and support to ask whatever questions may arise as they deepen their faith in God. In addition to our Sunday morning meets, we engage in tons of other fun events including hikes, bonfires, and service projects. Confirmation is also offered for youth 12 years old and above. The program runs every other year. Contact Katelyn to find out when the next class will be offered!
