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, February 8th | 6:00 PM – Halftime | JI Youth

Join us for a laid-back and fun night at JI Youth’s Super Bowl Big Sunday! This Big Sunday event is open to all middle and high school students, and we’re keeping it simple and chill. We’ll watch the first half of the Super Bowl, eat fried chicken, and spend the night hanging out together.

Whether you’re a huge football fan or just there for the food and friends, this is the perfect night to relax, laugh, and bring a friend along. Come comfy, come hungry, and come ready to enjoy a great night with JI Youth.

No need to sign up—just show up!

Events

JI Youth has three major events throughout the year.

The youth group starts the year with an Intown Retreat. This usually lasts a weekend and we have a mini camp setting here on campus and in host homes.
 
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!

The Final trip JI Youth goes on is our Fall Retreat in November. This is a weekend long trip up to a Christian camp site 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.
