Relevant Teaching
Each week, we dive into God’s Word with messages that address the challenges and opportunities students face in today’s world. Our goal is to equip them with practical truths they can apply in their everyday lives.

Small Groups
We believe that discipleship happens best in circles, not rows. Students break into small groups led by caring adult leaders who provide guidance, encouragement, and accountability.

A Safe and Supportive Environment
At SOJO Youth, safety is a top priority. All leaders are screened, background-checked, and trained to ensure your student is in trustworthy hands. We also maintain a welcoming and inclusive environment where every student is valued and encouraged to be themselves.
Our team is passionate about mentoring students, helping them navigate the ups and downs of life, and fostering a strong foundation of faith that will guide them through high school and beyond.
Preparing Students for the Future
SOJO Youth is designed to bridge the gap between childhood and adulthood, helping students grow spiritually, emotionally, and socially. By the time they graduate, our prayer is that they will have:
A strong relationship with Jesus.
A deep understanding of their identity and purpose in Christ.
A supportive network of peers and mentors.
The confidence to serve others and make an impact in their world.
