JSAY Overview

Welcome to JSAY! This ministry is all about forming our 7th and 8th grade students in the faith. We meet every Wednesday from 6:00-7:30 in the Malinowski Center to talk about Jesus, the Faith, the Church, and more!

My name is Becka Landry and I have been leading JSAY for over two years. I have had such an incredible experience leading these young people closer to Christ. Every semester brings a new theme, a new curriculum, and a new set of youth I have the opportunity to love.

Our Mission

We teach the Faith using engaging speakers, dynamic videos, fun games, and more! Our main goal is to provide an opportunity for the youth to encounter Christ every week. We do this by providing consistency in our preaching of the Gospel, by having courage in sharing our testimonies, and empowering each other and the youth to grow in their relationships with Christ.

A typical youth night includes a game, a talk, some form of prayer (either Adoration, praise and worship, or something creative), and small groups. Our small groups allow the youth to dive deeper into their faith by sharing with their leaders or by asking questions. It has been proven time and time again that youth retain more memory of the Faith when they are given the ability to process it within small groups. Want to come check it out? Come by any time!

Our Core Team

Each Small Group is led by an incredible Core Team Member. These volunteers put in time week after week growing in relationship with the youth and helping them grow closer to Christ. They absolutely LOVE your kids, and their job is to help you help your youth. Come by and meet your child's Small Group Leader sometime!
