Ablaze Junior High Ministry

About This Ministry

Ablaze Youth Ministry is a vibrant community for students in grades 6–8 and their families to grow in faith, build friendships, and deepen their relationship with Jesus. Designed especially for middle school youth, Ablaze offers a welcoming and engaging environment where participants can explore their faith through prayer, discussion, service, and fun activities. The ministry encourages young people to become missionary disciples who live their faith with confidence and joy. Whether seeking spiritual growth, meaningful connections, or opportunities to serve, Ablaze provides a supportive place for teens to belong, learn, and make a positive impact.

Ablaze Core Team
Do you feel called to help middle school students grow in their love of Jesus? As an Ablaze Core Team member, you will guide our students in discussions or activities (with plenty of directions to guide you), get to know these students and really pour into their hearts!

Ablaze Discipleship Team
The Ablaze Discipleship Team is a group of junior high teens who are committed to growing in their relationship with Christ and learning to follow Him more closely while inviting others to join them in that adventure. The team meets once a month to pray together, grow in faith and fellowship, grow in leadership skills, and take part in planning and input for various Ablaze events.

Kitchen Crew
Parents, we need your help to help prepare and serve food at our Ablaze Nights. All ingredients and supplies will be provided (this will be super easy–mostly warming things and serving). If everyone signed up for just one Ablaze Night, we would easily have every night covered. Thank you so much for supporting our ministry – please see the sign-up below to pick a night to help!
