Youth Ministry

A Space to <i>belong.</i>

A Space to belong.

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.

Weekly Services

Sundays at the 
9 & 10:45am
Worship Service

Youth leave the adult service after opening worship to meet in the Family Life Center. There we learn about God, each other, and have some fun. 

Sundays include a game time before moving to our renovated Youth Room, where we process through the foundational questions and teachings of what it means to follow Jesus.
