Youth Ministry
The Youth ministry strives to help students to build their lives upon the firm foundations of Faith that they can stand on through the ups and downs of life. (Matthew 7:24-27)
We strengthen a student’s foundation of faith when we not only teach, but also model what it means to live with a God-centered focus, a love for people, and a heart for mission so that they can come to know God, experience His love, and grow in their desire to follow and serve Him.

Connecting with Your Teen
Friday August 14, 2026, 7-9PM
Speaker: Samuel Thomsic, Senior Pastor, Jericho Road Church
Navigating the teen and preteen years can be challenging. This is a huge transitional time in a child’s development that often impacts family dynamics. How do we connect as our kids are changing, or when they seem to be pulling away? What does discipline look like? How do we help them explore their faith and make it their own? Whether you are a parent of a teen or going to be one, you will benefit from the wisdom our speaker brings as a pastor, educator, and parent of a diverse family as he addresses these questions and more.
About Our Speaker: Samuel Thomsic has a heart to share his experiences as a parent and the wisdom he has gathered through the years. He has a diverse family with 3 grown children, both biological and adoptive, the last of which is in college. He is currently the senior pastor of Jericho Road Church and has been pastoring for over 30 years. With a background in child development, he also brings a wealth of knowledge having concurrently taught kids in all grades from kindergarten to 12th grade in both public and private schools for 19 years.
