Youth Group
Junior and Senior High are programs designed to capture the attention of students through exciting events and activities. Our goal is to connect them to Jesus Christ and to give them the desire to grow in their personal relationship with Him.
Youth Group Ministry
Our Youth Ministry is vibrant and fresh! Our teenage services are held every Saturday at 6:00 pm and Sunday mornings at 10:30 AM & 12:00 PM. We have an exciting Youth Group for those in grades 5th through 12th grade, which meets ever Wednesday evening from 6:30 – 8:15 pm.
Thursday’s evening we have an amazing Celebrate Recovery Program, The Landing, for teenagers in grades 7th through 12th, it provides a safe place to handle the hurts, habits and hang-ups which we all deal with.
Pastor Ariel grew up in N.Y.C. and has a son Ethan and daughter Hailey. Pastor Ariel Shares: “I was raised in a Christian home as a pastor’s kid. My personal relationship with Jesus developed at the age of 12. I am an alumnus of Elm Bible Institute, where I minored in Youth Ministry. In May of 2020, I received my B.A in Biblical Studies at Lancaster Bible College. I have served as a full-time Youth Pastor in Rochester & N.Y.C. and have been involved in Youth ministry for 20 years. My heart’s desire is to invest in today’s youth and teach young people to grow in their relationship with the Lord to prepare them to serve Christ in all they do.”
