Youth Ministry

Every Wednesday Night at 6:45-8:45 PM

Encounter Youth is a community of students who believe that the way of Jesus is what brings true life. We have a blast celebrating the presence of God and each other through worship, studying the Bible, and games every Wednesday night. Our additional events are designed to empower friendship and acts of service in our community. Led by an amazing team of committed volunteer leaders and our Youth Pastor, Jake Ragsdale, and Youth Director, Tim Ornelas, our leaders long to see students encounter Jesus at every Wednesday night and youth event. We believe growth is normal for every young person. We are committed to welcoming them into our community and reaching them where they are at. Through teaching them the way of Jesus, doing our best to represent His heart, and providing a space for each of them to process questions, we believe that our youth will become mature, resilient disciples. Every young person has a unique story. Regardless of where they may find themselves in relation to Jesus or others, we welcome them to journey with us. Nothing is more exciting than seeing the love of God bring genuine transformation in our lives.
