Youth Church: Our Day of Teaching

Middle School & High School Sunday @ 10:45am

This is our weekly gathering to learn from the teaching of Scripture. Our hope is that this time would compel our youth 
to seek God, 
to learn to love the Scriptures, 
to learn to desire God's ways, 
and be changed.

Every Sunday, we start by gathering during second service in the main auditorium for worship. The youth sit in the front left with their leaders and friends. After announcements, the youth go upstairs to the youth room for teaching. We end at about the same time as the main service.

For more information on the current teaching series, check the Upcoming Events section below or the Enews.

Youth Church: Our Day of Community

Tuesdays Year-Round Tuesday @ 6:30 – 8:30pm

This is our weekly gathering, and its primary goal is for us to actually become a community. The night starts with unstructured time while the youth arrive, often moves into an optional game, and ends in small groups. Each group is led by one or more Youth Leaders (mentors) and is made up of youth who are the same sex and age. We hope this group time helps the youth build friendships with their peers, come to see their leaders as people they can reach out to for mentorship or care, and feel like this is actually their community.

Make no mistake: while the goal of this time isn’t study or teaching, it can still be a place of deep formation in our youth’s lives. As the youth share about their past and present, we aim to give them Jesus-wisdom to live out and reflect on.

Lastly, on the first Tuesday of every month, we have a community meal. The entire Youth Community eats together before breaking into groups.

What to Expect at Northview Youth

Because of Jesus, the heartbeat of Northview Youth is discipleship. We aim to partner with parents in this endeavor by bringing alongside leaders who embody Jesus’ ways, His teachings, and His vision for the Kingdom in their own lives and want to share that with our Youth. We have found that Youth don’t need more people teaching them the “right ideas”. Instead, they need people who care for them enough to come beside them, bare their burdens with them, and show them Jesus’ ways in action.

We view our Teaching Day and Community Day as merely a launch pad that brings about opportunity for further mentorship, discussions, and transformation. Our hope is that our Youth will be shown Jesus by both our teachings and our lives, and in turn choose to follow Him.

To hear more about the heartbeat behind Northview Youth, check out this video of our Youth Director, Zeb, speaking to the congregation about the forgotten Kingdom of God.

There are three ways for parents, guardians and students to stay up-to-date with calendar updates, event reminders and youth announcements:

  1. Youth Ministry Page: Our website is our primary form of communication. Detailed information about Midweek Small Groups, events and Sunday morning series can be found on this page (especially under the ‘Events’ section below)!

  2. Youth Newsletter (email): Each week our ministry sends out an e-news that gives recipients a quick glance at the month ahead! It always includes links to more information for each event and calendar date. Sign up here!

  3. Text Notifications: A quick and convenient way to receive reminders and updates. Texts are minimal and only sent for event reminders, announcements, “no Youth Group” reminders and last minute cancellations. Sign up here!

We love welcoming first time students into our Youth community, whether it’s on a Sunday morning, Tuesday evening or for an event! The primary goal of Tuesday nights are relational building, whereas Sundays are teaching oriented. 6th – 12th graders can join our Sunday and Tuesday gatherings at any time during the year. Details and registrations for events can be found below under the ‘Upcoming Events’ section.
