New Life Youth

New Life Youth Group

We want to help students live boldly for Christ—shaping their lives around faith, community, and a love for the church. Our mission is to empower middle school and high school students to become Christ-following leaders who make a positive impact in their schools, neighborhoods, and beyond.

We can’t wait to see you on Wednesday nights!

What to Expect

In our book, Wednesday night is the best night of the week! Each class is designed to help students grow in their faith and connect with others. You’ll take part in small groups to dive deeper into Scripture and life application with peers in a safe and supportive setting. Our youth leaders walk alongside students to be encouraging and inspiring.

 

Whether you’re new in your faith journey or have grown up in church, you’ll find a place to belong, grow, and be challenged in your relationship with Christ.
