IOI (Image of the Invisible) is our youth ministry for students in 6th–12th grade, designed to help students build real friendships, grow in their faith, and learn what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life.

We meet weekly in separate Middle School and High School gatherings for food, fun, and Bible-centered discussion.

At the heart of IOI Youth is a team of phenomenal adult leaders who show up consistently and model what it means to live a life that is second to God, others, and our community These are trusted mentors students can look up to and walk alongside as they navigate life and faith.

Throughout the year, we create opportunities for students to deepen their faith and build community through winter and summer camps, special events, service opportunities, and retreats, including a Catalina trip for our high school students. Whether it’s a regular Sunday night, a weekend away, or serving together in our city, our goal is the same: to help students experience the life-changing love of Jesus and learn how to live it out.
