Dr. Kara E. Powell and Dr. Chap Clark, authors of Sticky Faith, encourage parents to “develop a sticky web of relationships” for their teens.  We desire to come alongside you by creating a pool of trustworthy adults who can help you influence your teen's faith journey.  That’s why our ministry is so committed to connecting with your teenager and providing them with a community they can trust.

Our youth leaders continue in training and ministry education annually, as they all understand they are so much more than "just" a volunteer. Through the years, we've studied Your First Two Years in Youth Ministry, Nuts & Bolts, Lead Small, and Gospelize. This year, we're doing courses 101 & 201 of Youth Ministry University.

Spring Semester Schedule is T.B.D.

Some leaders lead hands-on, weekly; other leaders are primarily administrative, though they're commonly go-to chaperones for events, etc.  What our leaders on this page and this page have in common with the leaders pictured below is that they all love Jesus and love teenagers.  Here, meet our parent representatives and our student representatives.  They're vitally important to our youth ministry as we plan and as we do monthly check-ins for "health checks" to ensure the ministry is at its best. They also play a large role in our annual Youth Leadership Team Planning Retreat.
