ICYOUTH

MIDDLE SCHOOL & HIGH SCHOOL // Grades 6-12

icYouth is all about students. Our goal is to provide an environment for your teenager to think, believe, and practice... together. The seven years of middle school and high school can be challenging as new ideas, academic stress, and relationships all become more prevalent; students are trying to figure out who they are and what life is all about. Each time we gather together we want them to feel accepted, loved, and supported as they navigate all of it, and we want to do that consistently. So we've put together a team of volunteers with huge hearts and listening ears, ready to help your student make their relationship with Jesus their own.

  • J.A.M.  |  MIDDLE SCHOOL

    SUNDAY MORNINGS 9 & 11 AM

    J.A.M. (Jesus and Me) is a dynamic environment where middle school students just finishing fifth through eighth grades are encouraged to know Jesus and grow to be like HIM. Students meet during both the 9 and 11 AM services on Sundays. Our time is filled with unpredictable fun, relevant biblical teaching and small group discussion/prayer. All programming is designed to help students understand how to make sense of the questions they face in life, and live out what they are learning.
