109 Youth

Growing in Faith Together

109 Youth is a place where students can grow in their relationship with God while building meaningful friendships with others who are learning to follow Jesus.

Through time in Scripture, conversations about faith, and shared experiences, students are encouraged to ask questions, deepen their understanding of God’s Word, and learn how faith shapes everyday life.

Whether a student has grown up in church or is just beginning to explore faith, there is a place for them here.

Classes and Devotionals

Students gather regularly for Bible classes where they study Scripture and learn how it applies to the challenges and opportunities they face each day.

There are also times throughout the year when students gather for devotionals and time together that allow them to build friendships and encourage one another in their faith.

These moments help create a community where students feel supported and connected as part of the 109 family.

Experiences That Strengthen Faith

Throughout the year students have opportunities to grow through shared experiences and time spent together.

Many students participate in church camp, where they spend time focused on faith, friendships, and learning from Scripture.

Students also participate in retreats and conferences, which create space for deeper conversations about faith and meaningful time spent encouraging one another.

These experiences often become some of the most memorable moments of a student’s spiritual journey.

A Community That Cares

One of the most important parts of 109 Youth is the relationships that develop along the way.

Students are surrounded by leaders and friends who care about their faith, their growth, and their lives beyond church gatherings. Our hope is that every student feels encouraged, supported, and connected as part of the 109 family.

Leaders Who Care

109 Youth is led by our youth minister, Patrick Frans, along with his wife Cece, who both care deeply about helping students grow in their faith and build strong friendships within the 109 family. Together they invest in the lives of students through teaching, encouragement, and simply walking alongside them as they learn how to follow Jesus in everyday life.

They are joined by other adults from the 109 family who help teach, mentor, and support students. These relationships create a strong community where students are known, encouraged, and surrounded by people who care about their faith and their future.

We'd Love To Meet You
