PURE HEART CHURCHHEART YOUTH / 6TH – 12TH GRADE
Find your people.
Follow Jesus.
Heart Youth is where students in 6th through 12th grade belong. Every week, middle and high schoolers gather for worship, real teaching, games, and small groups led by trained, background‑checked adults who actually know their names. It's a place to bring your questions, find real friendships, and take honest steps toward Jesus — together.

Our Online campus streams the weekend message only. Heart Youth meets in person — join us at Glendale or Peoria and we'll have a spot ready for your student.
IN-PERSON ONLYReal faith,
real friendships.
Middle school and high school are loud, fast, and full of pressure. Heart Youth gives students one night a week that's actually for them — somewhere to be known, to worship, and to figure out faith with people their age.
A typical night looks like hang‑out time, worship, a message that meets students where they are, and small groups split by age and gender so no one gets lost in the crowd. Junior high and high school each have their own space and their own team.
Every leader is background‑checked and trained, and we keep groups small on purpose. Students don't just attend — they belong, they're known, and they're pointed toward Jesus by adults who show up for them every week.
Junior High
High energy, lots of laughs, and a first real chance to own their faith. Games, worship, and small groups built for the middle‑school world.
High School
Deeper conversations, honest questions, and room to lead. A place to wrestle with real faith and build friendships that last past graduation.
Be the adult a
student remembers.
You don't have to be cool, young, or have all the answers. Students just need a consistent adult who shows up and cares. We'll train you, put you with a team, and never throw you in alone.
THE COMMITMENTOne night a week
Most leaders give a couple hours on Wednesday nights — plus the texts and check‑ins that make students feel seen.
THE SCREENINGBackground‑checked & trained
Every student leader is screened and trained before their first night. Safety isn't a step we skip.
THE ROLESThere's a spot for you
Small‑group leader, check‑in, worship, tech, or the food crew. Tell us what fits and we'll find your place.
A Heart Youth night usually includes hang‑out time, worship, a message built for students, and small groups split by age and gender. Students can show up a few minutes early to grab a snack and meet people — a leader will make sure no one walks in alone.
6th through 12th grade, split into Junior High (6th–8th) and High School (9th–12th). Each has its own space, leaders, and small groups. Kids in 5th grade and under belong in Heart Kids; graduates step into Heart Young Adults.
Heart Youth meets midweek — Wednesday nights — plus Sunday morning small groups. The exact time, room, and entrance vary by campus, so use Find Your Campus above to get the details for where you attend.
Safety comes first. Every Heart Youth leader is background‑checked and trained before they serve, leaders are never one‑on‑one with a student, and check‑in helps us know who's here. We keep small groups small on purpose so every student is actually known.
That's exactly who we plan the night for. New students are welcomed at the door and walked into a small group their own age — most find a friend their first night. Bring a friend or come solo; either works, and a leader will be looking for you.
Weekly Heart Youth is always free. Camps, retreats, and trips have a cost, but we never want money to keep a student home — scholarships are available, no questions asked. Just ask a leader or email email protected.
Small groups are the front door — they meet weekly and stay together through the year, so students build real friendships and a leader who knows them. From there they can join a serve team, go to camp, and take next steps like baptism. Sunday 10:00 AM groups are another easy on‑ramp.
We're always looking for caring adults to lead and support students — you don't need to be young or have it all figured out, just consistent. Every leader is background‑checked and trained. Email email protected or use the Serve With Us section above to start.
