Youth Ministry

Our Heart - sparking a fire, igniting a passion for Christ.
​James 3:5, Jeremiah 20:9

Who We Are

We 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. 

Spark serves our youth in the 5th-8th grade range. Leighton Jones leads this group. Click HERE to get to know her.

Ignite is geared towards 9th-12th graders. This group is led by Katelyn Webster. Click HERE to get to know her.

​When We Meet

Picture
Every Sunday 

9:00-9:50 am - Spark & Ignite Community Breakfast in the Loft - We have crafts options, an intro to the gospel/theme of the week, and open discussion.

10:00-10:45 am - Church together or with families and each other - This hour is devoted to participating in church life (choir, children's ministry volunteer, ushering, serving as an Acolyte, Scripture Reader, or reading The Prayers of the People).

10:45-11:30 am - Youth Group Education Hour in Loft and Courtyard. Leighton with Spark and Katelyn with Ignite diving deeper into the lessons, prayer, and fellowship.


​What We Do

Within 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!
