ABLAZE Junior High Youth Ministry program for all students in 6th-8th grade.
ABLAZE is a community for middle school students and their families to personally know Jesus and to grow as missionary disciples.
ABLAZE Youth Ministry is designed with you in mind, offering a dynamic and welcoming environment for middle school students like yourself to grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and make a positive impact on our community. Whether you’re looking to deepen your spiritual connection, engage in fun and meaningful activities, or simply connect with other like-minded teens, we have something special to offer you.

Kitchen Krew
Parents, we need your help to help prepare and serve food at our ABLAZE Nights. All ingredients and supplies will be provided, along with guidance from Chef Ted (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!
