City Youth

Real faith. Real friendships. Real life.

City Youth meets on Wednesday nights from 7:00-9:00pm

We’re passionate about creating a vibrant, welcoming community where students in 6th-12th grade from all backgrounds can belong, be known, and grow.

Rooted in Scripture and relevant to today’s culture, our ministry helps students navigate life’s big questions while keeping Christ at the center. We believe that spiritual growth happens best in an environment that is both biblically grounded and culturally aware.

We anchor our trust in God’s unchanging character and build our lives on the firm foundation of Jesus. Everything we do is centered on helping students grow in confidence—in who God is and who He has created them to be.

Stories from City Youth

Don't just take our word for it. We asked students, parents, and small group leaders one simple question: Why does City Youth matter?

Their answers say more about this ministry than we ever could.

Serve with City Youth

Youth leader talking with a group of students around a table

Every youth who walks through our doors is looking for someone to see them. Adults who remember their name, who make them feel like they belong, and reflect the love of Jesus, have a powerful influence. That's what it means to serve in City Youth.

This isn't a spectator role. You'll be in the room, playing the games, asking the follow-up questions, praying and encouraging students. Some weeks that looks like high energy activity and other weeks it looks like sitting with one student who just needs someone to listen.


You don't need to have it all figured out to start. You need a love for Jesus, a willingness to show up, a heart for students, and a desire to grow alongside them as you reflect Jesus' love.
