Youth Ministry

Here at Northwest Church we believe the youth are the future of the church and we also believe that the youth are part of the church RIGHT NOW. We strive to create a community where all voices are heard, including our teens. With that in mind, the youth program at Northwest endeavors to create a safe, nurturing space where teens can grow in their relationship to God and each other. A space where adolescents can ask the big, tough life questions without fear of being shut down or shut out.

Make Sundays Meaningful!  Join us for uplifting worship and community connection every Sunday morning.  Youth Ministry meets upstairs during second service after communion (around 11:15 AM). Special Sunday evenings are all about fun and faith for our youth, featuring fellowship, game time and devotionals!
Our students work together to serve the community in which we are planted. One of those projects is our annual Kids Camp, where we host community children for a fun-packed week of summer fun activities and learning about God. 

Regular Schedule

Sunday Mornings | 11:00 am ~ noon:

Start with everyone! Teens join the whole congregation for worship, praise, and communion with their
families. Then after communion, teens transition into their own engaging, discussion-based class
where they explore how scripture connects to the real issues and complexities of their lives.

Sunday Nights | 5:30 – 7:00 pm (Sept – mid June, with Summer Hiatus for Special Events):

Experience community with the youth group – enjoy games, snacks, relevant devotionals, and time to
hang with friends and build new relationships.
