VYouth

VYouth is for Grade 6-12

VYouth program has everything from Sunday mornings to our socials to our annual retreats, and everything fun in between. Our vision is that Vyouth would be a place of discipleship where middle and high schoolers can grow their faith, their character, and their relationships.

Sundays

Before the service starts you can meet us at our VYouth Check-In Desk in the lobby, and then join us for worship in the main service before we head to upstairs to our separate middleschool and highschool groups for games, reading the Bible, and discipleship.
