welcome to ctk YOUTH!
We are passionate about helping students grow in what it means to be led by the Spirit, shaped by the Scriptures, and strengthened by the Sacraments. We believe that God's presence is real and approachable to students in every stage of life, and we strive to create a welcoming, authentic environment where they can encounter Him personally. Through meaningful Bible study, real-life application, and active participation in the sacraments, we aim to equip students to follow Jesus with confidence and live out their faith in everyday life.

Our Sunday youth gatherings are for students ages 6th-12th grade. These gatherings include worship, liturgy, lesson, and discussion groups. We also have various age based retreats and other events throughout the year. This time together, both weekly and seasonally, creates space for students to explore their faith and build meaningful relationships with both Jesus and one another.
We believe the church should be a place where students feel genuinely loved, valued, and respected. Our leaders are deeply committed to cultivating a supportive atmosphere in which each student is known, encouraged, and guided in their spiritual formation.

Your student's safety is our top priority. All our volunteers are background-checked, MinsitrySafe trained, and committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for every student. We have multiple leaders at every gathering, ensuring that there are always adults present to supervise and engage with the students. This policy is in place to provide an added layer of security and to promote a safe, supportive experience for everyone.
