what to expect at youth group

Vineyard Youth Group is for students in grades 6–12 who want to grow in their faith, build friendships, and have fun in a welcoming environment. Every Wednesday, students experience engaging worship, relevant biblical teaching, great food, and opportunities to connect with caring leaders and other students.

meal & fellowship

We are overjoyed that we have the honor of feeding so many kids. Our incredible food team does their best to provide the best meals possible for all kids, and we do our best to accommodate various dietary needs.

worship

We kick off every Youth Group night with worship, giving students a chance to connect with God, center their hearts, and get ready for a practical, Bible-based message.

biblical teaching

Our talks are relevant, practical, and rooted in God's Word. Every message is designed to help students understand the Bible, grow in their relationship with Jesus, and confidently live out their faith in everyday life.

small group

Our goal in Small Groups is to provide a safe, encouraging environment for students who are ready to take the next step in their faith. Through meaningful discussion, prayer, and authentic relationships, students can ask questions, be encouraged, and grow in their walk with Jesus alongside trusted leaders and peers.

want to join

the Youth team?

Want to be part of our thriving youth program but cannot commit every week? Our hospitality team is an excellent way to start! This team includes our welcome team, which greets students, helps during free time, connects at dinner, handles security, or assists with general cleanup. The commitment is once every three weeks, with the option to serve weekly.

Have you felt a calling to lead a small group or Bible study? Our YG small group team is a great opportunity. These Gospel-centered, grade- and gender-specific groups focus on getting kids into the Word, asking hard questions, and praying. You will lead your own crew and move along with them year after year, building deep relationships and trust. This position requires regular weekly attendance from September to May. If you have any questions, please contact Dan Sederquist at dan@myvineyardchurch.com.
