youth Ministry

It is our vision that our student ministry reflect the overall mission of our church and that our students participate fully in the life of the body of Christ. Below are some environments specifically targeted to our students. Our ministry team leaders partner with parents and elders as they seek to make disciples of the next generation. All 6th-12th graders are invited to attend.

We gather every Wednesday from 6-8:15 PM in Dority Hall until the Loft renovations are complete.

JICC YOUTH

The Wallace Fam

Sky & Noah began overseeing the JICC youth ministry in 2022. They both have a heart for the next gen (THIS gen!) to see, experience, and follow the way of Jesus. Their goal is to partner with parents, students, volunteers, and the church as a whole to build up teens to be Kingdom builders.

"We love student ministry specifically because it's such a transformational phase of life. Most of the foundations in our faith are formed in middle and high school. So, what do these students believe about God? And, based on what they believe, who will they become? We hope to build a student ministry that reflects who Jesus is, and, in turn, builds students that look, act, and walk like Jesus. May the Kingdom come, on earth as it is in Heaven."
- The Wallace's

Noah & Sky oversee the youth ministry alongside a village of volunteers, as well as their daughters Rain (2 y/o) & Olive (infant).
