Each Monday night we gather, play games, hear from God’s Word, and have a time of discussion and prayer in small groups. We seek to equip the firm in faith, challenge the idle in faith, and invite the new to faith. All youth from Gr. 6-12 are welcome to join us from 7:00-9:00 P.M. at 5887 Prince Edward Street in Vancouver. 

Each Sunday during the gatherings we invite youth from grades 6 and 7 to join us for a time of doctrinal teaching. Youth Foundations acts as a transitional program to help youth adjust after graduating from Kids Ministry. Teaching through essential Christian doctrines using rich theological language prepares youth for Monday Night Youth and, down the line, for Sunday sermons. 

In partnership with Youth Leaders and parents, our Director of Youth will work to arrange times of meaningful discipleship based on the needs of youth. 

Each summer, we host our Youth Day Camp. Youth going into grades 6-9 are invited to participate in our week-long day camp. Each day begins with a time of Bible teaching, followed by a time of small group discussion and prayer. Afterwards, each day features an activity or outing.

This is an excellent opportunity for youth to invite their non-Christian friends, as the teaching is expressly invitational, and the bulk of each day is spent out on activity. It’s a low pressure, fun and engaging way to introduce friends to Jesus. 

Once a year in the fall we partner with like-minded local churches in a moment of shared community under a common goal: knowing Jesus. Given the invitational nature and fun structure of this retreat, we encourage youth to invite their non-Christian friends. 

In December, before youth pauses for Christmas break, we host our annual Christmas Banquet. Youth are encouraged to invite their non-Christian friends to this night in which we share a meal, hear a brief advent message, play games, and celebrate the season together. 

We have special events that act as an opportunity for youth to invite their non-Christian friends. These events are intentionally less formalized in their sharing of the gospel but are nonetheless incarnational moments.
