Youth Ministry

SVA Church Youth Ministries exists to be a place where Middle and High School students can experience the renewing, redeeming, and restoring love of Jesus. We know that for most students this is a time they are exploring their identity and learning to develop “their” community.  Thus, we place a heavy emphasis on creating spaces where students feel belonging, develop new friendships, all in the context of the truth of who Jesus says we are. Currently we offer programs weekly on Wednesday’s, Sunday’s during services, fun events, service opportunities, mission trips, and life-changing camps.

Sundays at the 9:00 and 10:45 worship services.  We leave the adult service after worship to meet in the Family Life Center upper room.  There we learn about God, each other, and have some fun.  Sundays are designed to help us process through the foundational questions and teachings of what it means to follow Jesus. Check the youth banner in the lobby on your way into worship to verify if youth is meeting during that service or your staying to learn from Pastor Baly!

SVA Youth Group Wednesdays from 6:00-8:00 pm.  This is a great time to hang out with friends, make new friends over a scrumptious dinner, laugh while playing games, enjoy a time of musical worship, hear an insightful message about who God is, and have time in small groups to talk about your perspective on our topic for the night.  

Special Events happen throughout the year.  Make sure you and your parent/guardian is signed up for the newsletters below to stay up to date on all the fun upcoming activities and opportunities.  

This is your place to get pictures and videos from events, camps, and other fun events.

Serving in Youth is fun, meaningful, and makes a real impact. You’ll walk with students as they discover who they are in Christ and learn to follow Him—it’s a faith-growing adventure for both them and you. Want to help regularly on Sundays or Wednesdays?
