SOJO Youth

About Us

At SOJO Church, we are passionate about equipping the next generation to discover their identity in Christ, live out their purpose, and impact the world around them. SOJO Youth is a dynamic community designed specifically for middle and high school students to grow in their faith, build meaningful friendships, and find a safe space to explore life’s big questions.

What to Expect

SOJO Youth is more than just a youth group—it’s a movement. Here’s what your student can expect:

Engaging Worship

Our youth services include music and worship that resonate with students, creating an atmosphere where they can connect with God on a personal level.

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.

Fun and Community

Whether it’s a game night, an outreach project, or a weekend retreat, SOJO Youth offers a mix of exciting activities that make faith and fun go hand in hand.

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.
