The Youth Ministry of West Jackson Street has a heart for God which is pumping with energy and passion to reach teenagers with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe that God is going to use these young men and women to do earth-shaking, life changing things in this world for the Kingdom of God.

We use a series of ongoing weekly activities: Sunday School, Wednesday night Youth Worship and Bible Study sessions, a prayer breakfast, and more. Biblical truths are embedded and conveyed in each of these activities, presented in a way that helps young people create and sustain a Christian foundation that will prepare them for adulthood.

Our Youth Ministry is designed to create life change in teenagers, and enables them to become life changers themselves in their everyday lives. Young people enjoy and grow together in a Christian walk through a schedule of summer activities, Disciple Now Weekends, camps, mission trips, and retreats, and other forums of fellowship.

On this page, you will see some pictures of our Youth Mission Trip to Chicago on June 19-25, 2004. Twenty-four youth and adults spent seven days serving the Lord in the inner-city. Some of the ministry included conducting four Backyard Bible Clubs each day, doing door to door canvassing, and yardwork.
