About JYG

 

What is JYG?

JYG or “Junior Youth Group” is the youth ministry experience for our fifth and sixth graders. All 5th and 6th grade students, regardless of church or school affiliation, are welcome to join JYG.  In general, JYG meets each Thursday afternoon during the school year for fellowship, service, spirituality and fun.  Activities range from games to spiritual discussions to service projects.

We believe that all youth, regardless of age, can participate in a ministry that allows them to be present in a special community and a center of acceptance. We hope that our children will find in JYG a sense of faith and fun that will continue through MSYG and into YG and the Quest programs.

JYG is an opportunity for our youth to escape from the difficulties of an early middle school career and be part of a program that is all-welcoming, judgment-free, and fun.  Over the years our vibrant JYG ministry has continued to grow.  During the 2010-2011 year there were over 55 youth registered for JYG with 20 participating weekly.  The JYG program now includes more than 30 regular weekly meetings and service projects.
