Youth

We are on a journey of becoming more like Jesus, together in community.

Antioch Youth Ministry wants to equip and empower our youth (grades 7-12) to live for Jesus, and make a local and global impact in the midst of differing cultural norms and expectations! We offer a safe environment where students are challenged to grow and feel comfortable to be themselves. We believe that teens have a purpose in Jesus and that they can walk in their identity in Christ right now!

Through weekly LifeGroups and services, we seek God by experiencing community, worship, and Biblical lessons; facilitating discipleship; and monthly community events. We also participate in Youth Camp, Bash ‘n Crash, mission trips, and other fun activities throughout the year. Together, we can step towards our calling to be in the world but not of it!

If you have any further questions, please email our Youth Administrator and we’d be happy to find you answers!
