Ember Youth
Students in grades 6–12 finding friends, faith and their place in the world.
Who we are
Ember Youth is for every student in grades 6–12, whether you’ve grown up in church or never been inside one. We want every student to have adults who know their name and a faith that holds up to real questions.

Before you ask
Questions people ask
Do parents stay during youth group?
No, but you’re always welcome to come in and say hello. Youth group runs from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., and every adult leader has been background-checked and trained.
How can I volunteer with kids or youth?
Every adult who serves with children or students completes a background check and a short training. Browse the volunteer roles, or contact our Pastor of Families to talk about where you’d fit.
