Rooted in Christ.

Growing in faith.

Walking with students as they get to know Jesus.

Our Junior High 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.

Our goal is to create a safe space where students can ask hard questions, and form a foundation that will guide them for years to come.

When do we meet?

Thursdays at 7 pm

Sundays at 9:15 & 11:15 am

What to bring…

Resources as we grow in 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.

For the next three weeks, we are focusing on what it means to live a Christian life of community.

Over the next few weeks, students will walk through what it means to commit to walking with their friends, with the Jr High ministry, and with their church community.

Don't miss out—be part of the fun!
