Youth Ministry

Welcome to Youth Ministry

2024-25 Registration now open! Fill out the registration form and waiver by clicking the link on the right or using the QR code available in the bulletin or on the bulletin board outside the Youth Ministry office.

Rooted in the principles of Ignatian Spirituality, Youth Ministry will be a vibrant community of 6-12 graders seeking to live their lives for the Greater Glory of God (Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, or AMDG). Youth Ministry will inspire students to find God in every aspect of their lives through small group discussion, community service, and joyful large group events. Students in Blaze are encouraged to think critically, to examine their faith, and to go forth and set the world on fire.

What is Youth Ministry?

Youth Ministry is a group of students in grades 6-12 that meets once per month to learn about their faith, play games, do community service, and have fun! Our events are centered around the big questions of our faith - what we believe, why we believe it, how we should act in society, and more!

Our Rules
1. Be kind - to each other, our space, etc.
2. Listen to the group leader and any volunteers.
3. Absolutely zero bullying, harassment, antisemitism, etc. will be tolerated.
4. Be open-minded! 
5. Any infractions of these rules (or others that pertain to specific activities, particularly safety-related) will result in this warning system: 
  1. First Warning: Solo discussion with Allie away from the rest of the group.
  2. Second Warning: Time out from the activity/event
  3. Third Warning: Phone call home to parent/guardian
Anything necessary beyond those warnings will result in being removed from the youth group for a minimum of the next three events.
