JI YOUTH

Gather Grow Go

Our mission is to Reach, Redeem, and Restore every middle and high school student so that they may know and experience a personal relationship with God.  Together we grow in faith to become mature followers of Christ and to make disciples of His image.

Summer Camp Registration Is Here

JI Youth Summer Camp is one of the highlights of our year, and this summer we’re heading to Crossroads Camp in Anderson, SC, hosted by Clayton King Ministries, from July 6–10. Camp is all about stepping away from normal routines and leaning into something better: time with friends, meaningful conversations, powerful worship, and solid biblical teaching.

Throughout the week, students will experience engaging sessions, small groups with their leaders, and plenty of fun woven in along the way. It’s an environment designed to help students grow in their faith, ask real questions, and see how the gospel connects to everyday life.

Spots are limited to 35 students and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is only complete once both the parent/guardian information and student information are submitted. Summer camp has a way of becoming a defining moment for students, and we can’t wait to see what God does through JI Youth July 6–10!

Sunday Nights

JI Youth is every Sunday evening from 6:00-7:30pm.

BIG Sunday is the first Sunday of each month - Food, fun, and Games. This Sunday is designed as an easy night to visit JI Youth. It always has a theme, event, or game.

Come back the rest of the month for captivating teaching that a teenager would actually pay attention to and a community focused on the Gospel.

THIS MONTH'S BIG SUNDAY

Sunday, March 1st | 6:00–7:30 PM | JI Youth

It’s back. Bigger. Louder. More competitive.

Join us for our 4th Annual Nine Square Tournament at JI Youth! On March 1st, middle and high school students will battle it out in the square for ultimate bragging rights. Last year, Tucker Little claimed the throne… and now it’s time to see who’s ready to dethrone the reigning champion.

Expect high-flying saves, questionable calls, intense rallies, and plenty of laughs. Whether you’re coming to dominate or just cheer from the sidelines, this is one of our most fun Big Sundays of the year.

Bring your A-game. Bring a friend. And come ready to take your shot at the crown.

No sign-up needed, Just show up!

Events

JI Youth has three major events throughout the year.

The youth group starts the year with Converge Weekend. This is a weekend designed to help our juniors and seniors transition from high school to college, while maintaining their faith. It takes place in Myrtle Beach either in January or February. 
 
The next major event is Summer Camp. This is the Largest trip JI Youth takes, lasting a whole week! This is mission-centered and gospel-focused. The students look forward to this week all year! This typically takes place in early July. 

The Final trip JI Youth goes on is our Fall Retreat in November. This is a weekend-long trip up to a Christian campsite in the mountains of South Carolina. This trip involves worship, teaching, messy games, and hummer rides! 

Hope For Teenagers

At JI Youth, we believe following Jesus means showing up for people when life gets hard. That’s why we created the Hope for Teens page—a space specifically built to help students who are struggling with mental health, suicidal thoughts, or substance use. Whether it’s you or someone you care about, this page offers real resources, crisis support, and a reminder that you are not alone. We want every teenager to know that there’s help, there’s hope, and there’s a God who hasn’t given up on them—and neither have we.
