Next Gen · SOJO YTH · 6th – 12th Grade · Wednesdays 6–8pm
Not a holding pen
A movement
Wednesday nights, 6 to 8. A place for students to figure out who they are, ask the hard stuff out loud, and find people worth walking with.
GrowPeace with God is settled the day you say yes. Peace with yourself takes longer, and nobody grows through adolescence alone.
Wednesdays · 6–8pm · 6th–12th grade
Five things
every Wednesday
Worship that doesn't talk down to them
Music students actually connect with, in a room where it's safe to mean it.
Teaching about their real life
Straight out of Scripture, aimed at the pressure, anxiety, and identity questions they're carrying right now — not a sanitized version of adolescence.
Small groups, not rows
Discipleship happens in circles. Students break into groups led by caring adults who provide guidance, encouragement, and accountability.
Actual fun
Game nights, outreach projects, retreats. Faith and fun are not competing categories here.
Leaders you can trust
Every leader is screened, background-checked, and trained. Every student is valued and encouraged to be exactly who they are.
The long game
What we're
praying for
By the time a student graduates, our prayer is that they leave with four things nobody can take from them.

Meet the leader
Audrie
Cash
Audrie found SOJO in 2021 during a season of a lot of change, and got the support and encouragement her family needed. She plugged into kids ministry, got asked to help with youth, and fell in love with it — the students first, then their parents, then the whole community around them.
If your student is nervous about walking in, tell her. She'll make sure they're not alone.
Seniors
May shouldn’t be
a cliff
Second semester of senior year, we start walking you over to SOJO YA — Fridays, 6 to 8, dinner at 8.
You do not have to pick. Keep coming Wednesday for as long as you want it and start showing up Friday too. The overlap is the whole point: we would rather you have two rooms for a semester than none the following fall, when half your friends leave for school and the other half start working.
Parents
Come with them
the first time
Meet the leaders, see the room, ask whatever you want. Then let them go.
