Youth Ministry

Youth Ministry Exists to:

  1. Make disciples within the youth groups.
  2. Equip teens to be disciple makers, and to share the love of Christ in an ever-changing world.

Ignite Youth: Ignite is our 6th-8th grade youth group. This group meets on Thursday nights from 6:30pm-8:30pm throughout the school year.

Impact Youth: Impact is our 9th-12th grade youth group. This group meets on Sunday nights from 5pm-7pm throughout the school year.


Testimony Night 

This is a special event on the first Sunday of each month where the teens enjoy dinner together and hear from other church members and teens about how the Lord is working in and through their lives. We share a family-style meal, which is often prepared by a parent or a group of volunteers and enjoy a time of worship together. For this monthly gathering, the two youth groups come together. Testimony nights will be from 5pm to 7pm. If you would like to receive more information about youth ministries, or to sign up for Youth Group updates, please contact our Director of Youth and Worship at samt@trinityefc.com.
