By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
Who are we?
Youth group at the Bridge is made up of two gatherings.
Ignite meets the first week of every month and is for fifth and sixth graders to grow them in their walk with the Lord through activity, fellowship, food, and Bible teaching. Ignite helps them in the transition time of life from elementary into young adulthood as well as preparing them for the greater youth ministry.
1335 is a community group for middle and high school students in the area from grades 7-12 with the meeting each week at the Bridge for Fellowship, Prayer, Teaching, and service.
When do we meet?
Starting in the fall, the 7th-12th grade will meet every Wednesday at the Bridge from 6-8pm. On the first Wednesday of the month the 5th-6th graders are invited to join the regular meeting.
The second Wednesday of each month is Worship Night featuring God Stories.

Growth Group
Starting in September, on the 2nd Sunday of the month at 8:30am, Growth Group will be meeting with youth to dive deeper into Scripture and discussions on faith as well as encourage student leadership.
Facilitated by youth ministry leaders, this small group aims to equip teens (7th-12th grade) with tools for studying Scripture in their daily life, foster deeper conversations about what it means to have a relationship with God, and live out that faith in Jesus. Once a month, students and youth leaders meet at the Bridge church for group discussion about relevant topics and Bible study over coffee and donuts.
To participate in Growth Group, simply show up on the 2nd Sunday of the month at 8:30am.
*Note:
If your student would like to participate in future book studies, they will need to purchase their own book copy ahead of time!

Below are some ways you can help support our students and Youth Ministry.
Scholarships
In March 2026, we will be attending the Ignite Student Leadership Conference in Iowa. At this time, we are not actively collecting scholarships but will be as we head into 2026. Check back for additional information.
Food
Each Wednesday we aim to provide a meal for students who often come directly from school after a long day of classes and practice. The majority of the time, we have around ~50 students. If you can pick one night to supply food, please use the signup below
Pray
Prayer is a pillar of our church, and we’d love your intercessory prayers. Thriving ministries are founded in prayer, and it can’t be something we ever stop building from. We cannot do this on our own. Jesus lived in full dependence on the Holy Spirit in prayer, so we do too.
