Youth and Young Adult Ministries

The youth ministry program provides opportunities for all youth in grades 6–12 and college-age students. There are many options throughout the week for middle school youth (entering grades 6–8) and high school youth (grades 9–12) along with special fellowship and service events. There is something for everyone and all are welcome!

Messiah also connects with college-age students, whether they are away at school or studying here in Vancouver. If you fall into this category, please let us know your address. You never know when a surprise might end up in your mailbox!

The confirmation program is for students entering grades 6–8 (students who are entering 9th grade, but not yet confirmed will participate in high school activities). If you are in grades 6–8 and are not part of the confirmation program, but would like to be, please contact Jessica Potts at This email address is being protected from spambots.

All students (whether enrolled in confirmation or not) are welcome at all activities and classes. Check the church calendar for upcoming fun activities.
