Youth Ministry

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” DEUTERONOMY 6:5 (NIV)

New in 2023, we are directing all our middle school students to a ministry called Wyld Life that meets in our building and all our high school students to a ministry called YoungLife that also meets in our building. Our church also has a “Parents of Youth Committee” for parents to help plant additional spaces for our students to grow in their love for God and neighbour (scroll doing to join this group).

Grades 7-9

Pastor Renee Pringle leads this ministry for middle schoolers. Every other week is a “Club” night which has lots of fun activities and a Gospel message. On the alternate week is “Campaigner” night with is a Bible study (discipleship night). It’s common for leaders to also do contact work (hanging out with youth on their turf, coaching teams, etc.).

Parkside Parents of Youth Committee

The Parkside Parents of Youth Committee (PPoYC) exists to: 1) foster prayer for students and the ministry of Young Life; 2) create an appropriate environment for parental feedback on the arrangement with Young Life; 3) plan opportunities to complement the ministry of Young Life with spiritual formation experiences unique to the values of Parkside Church; and 4) strengthen communication and support for Young Life in Parkside.
