Equipping a generation to walk boldly in the way of jesus.
What is ACC yTH?
ACC YTH is the student ministry of our church, designed for middle and high school students who we believe are part of no ordinary generation. In a time where culture is telling students who to be, God is raising up young people who are desperate for Him and eager to live lives that are fully surrendered to Him —wholly dependent on the Lord and committed to His ways. Our mission is to equip this next generation to walk boldly in the way of Jesus. Our leaders are burdened to know, love, and invest in students, helping them grow into radical disciples who follow Christ with confidence and conviction. Through weekly community groups, monthly WAKE gatherings, and semi-annual retreats, we desire to see students know Jesus deeply and live out their faith in every area of their lives.

We believe discipleship happens best within the context of meaningful community. Our Community Groups are led by college and post-graduate adults who are deeply invested in the lives of our students and committed to walking alongside them in their faith. Every Community Group leader goes through an onboarding process, completes a ministry safe training, undergoes a background check, and signs our leadership policy before serving. Leaders are paired together to provide intentional care, accountability, and counsel for students. Community Groups meet weekly, creating space for students to build relationships, ask questions, pray together, and dive deeper into the life that Jesus died and rose for them to live.
WAKE is our monthly gathering for students in grades 6th–12th, where we gather together to pursue God together as one community. These nights are centered on encountering Jesus through worship and Scripture. Each WAKE creates space for students to engage with God’s Word, build meaningful relationships, and enjoy games and fun YTH activities. As a vital rhythm in the life of ACC YTH, WAKE brings students together once a month to grow in faith, build unity, and seek Jesus together.

TIDES is our summer retreat—a week at the beach set apart to seek Jesus, grow in community, and have a whole lot of fun! As students step away from their everyday rhythms, our prayer is that they would encounter the Lord in a deeper way and grow in their love for Him. Through worship, time in the Word, intentional conversations, and plenty of time on the beach, we believe this week will be full of lasting friendships, unforgettable memories, and lives transformed by Jesus. We cannot wait!
