Our team strives to come alongside 7th -12th grade students from across our community in everyday life to help them take steps in their faith. We help provide community and leadership at our weekly Sunday Night Refuel Events as well as work to build meaningful relationships with students. We offer Middle School Classes on Sunday mornings during our first service.

Serving on Sunday mornings involves teaching topics and leading group discussions. We ask morning teammates to serve once a month, with arrival time 20 minutes prior to the service. Sunday Refuel from 6p-8p is the best place to dive in with Journey Teens. Our Refuel leaders show up every week, 30 minutes before the event, to engage with our teens. As you begin to lead students and build relationships, the occasional text, social media comment/like or attendance at student’s extracurricular activities goes a long way.

It all boils down to showing Jesus to our kids through your words and actions. God takes it from there!

This creativity is specifically used through music, sound, and visuals to point people towards Jesus every weekend in our Sunday Services. We are people who love to use media and technology to enhance our worship experience at Journey!
