Ministry Purpose / Vision

Rooted in our mission to help people BELIEVE, CONNECT, and SHARE the grace of God in Jesus Christ, our youth ministry is committed to seeing every student grow in their love for the Saviour as they deepen their knowledge of Him.

On Sunday mornings, we discuss the weekly sermon through the lens of youth, helping them apply God’s Word to their own lives.

Friday nights feature The Unstuck Life series, guiding students through key areas of discipleship to build a firm foundation in Christ, with tailored discussions and activities just for them that will encourage strong biblical habits, offer fun opportunities to connect, and create an engaging space where faith can flourish.

Youth Ministry Leader – Coordinator & Discussion Guide

The ideal leader is someone with a deep love for Jesus and a heart for discipling the next generation. They are organized and proactive, able to plan and coordinate events, manage schedules, and ensure activities run smoothly. They’re confident in leading Bible-based discussions, able to connect Scripture to real-life situations youth face, and skilled at drawing out participation from quieter students. They balance spiritual maturity with approachability—someone who can both mentor and laugh alongside the youth.

Youth Ministry Helper – Support, Energy, and Engagement

The ideal helper is enthusiastic, dependable, and eager to serve. They thrive on building relationships with students, encouraging participation, and creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere. They’re quick to jump into games, assist with setup and cleanup, and support the leader during discussions by helping manage small groups or engaging one-on-one with students. They bring energy and joy, but also know when to listen and offer encouragement.

✅Asset for either role – driving for more than 5 years (to help drive youth to and from events)

FAQs

Do I need prior experience?

While an asset, prior experience is not required. We’re looking for individuals with good energy, a caring heart and a willingness to serve. Training and support will be provided.

Can I serve on certain days (I.e. Fridays, but not Sundays)?

While it would be best to attend all our events as consistently as possible, we are willing to work around/with your schedule to find a way to serve that is the right fit.

What if I’m unsure or want to observe first?

That’s perfectly okay. We encourage new volunteers to shadow a leader before making a commitment, so you can get a feel for the ministry and ask any questions.
