YOUTH

6TH-12TH GRADE
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS | 6:30-8:00PM

Our mission is to

with mature and

resilient faith in

Jesus Christ.

Our goals are to:

  • ENGAGE with students on Wednesday nights and in life outside of youth group

  • SHARE the Gospel with students and lead them into relationship with Christ

  • TEACH young believers the basics of Christian faith and the core truths and doctrines of Christianity

  • TRAIN students to apply Biblical truths to their own lives and use their gifts to help and serve others

  • GIVE each student an opportunity to contribute to a ministry at church outside of youth group

Meet the Youth Director

JT MADDOX

JT has been involved in youth ministry since 2016, including roles in Awana and Trail Life. With an educational background, his mission is to help youth “own” their faith as they transition into adulthood. He and his wife, Bobbi, have five sons aged 1 to 20! JT enjoys playing trombone, coaching his son's baseball team, and being part of the worship team and missions committee at River of Life. He is excited to see how God uses the youth ministry to impact the lives of students and their families.
