Youth Ministry (Grades 8-12)

Our Youth Program is for Grade 8–12 students who want to grow in their faith, deepen their relationship with Jesus, and build genuine friendships.
We spend time studying the Bible, playing games, enjoying good food, and having fun — all in a welcoming, supportive environment where you can be yourself.
-
Friday Nights: We meet every Friday from 6:30–8:30 PM for games, Bible study, community, and good food.
-
Sunday Meetups: Find John and the youth group on Sundays to sit together and enjoy Timbits — always a hit!
-
High School Connection: John also connects with students at our local high school on Wednesdays at noon.
We want youth to experience Jesus in everyday life, grow together in faith, and have a lot of fun along the way.
Follow us on Instagram to see what’s happening each week and stay in the loop with events and gatherings.

JOHN WILLIAMS - YOUTH LEADER
I graduated from Brock University with a major in Child and Youth Studies. I've always had a passion for working with youth in some capacity. I've always felt the desire that children and youth need better role models in today's world, and I felt that I had a job to do when it came to coming alongside youth.
Once I became reconnected with my faith, I really felt the calling to work with youth, but in a way that can lead them towards God. I can relate to the typical "high school/teen" experience, where I was influenced by anything and everything but God, and years later now, I look back and wish I held onto my faith, but yet, I believe that I can relate to the struggles that our youth face today! I'm excited to walk alongside our youth as they navigate life and their relationship with God!
