Ministries · Youth
Teenagers taught the Word, mentored in life.
A community where teens are taken seriously. Real Bible teaching, real adults who show up, real space to wrestle with hard questions and choose Christ for themselves.
What we do
More than a youth group.
Bible study that doesn't talk down. Mentorship from adults who actually remember being a teenager. Service projects across South L.A. so faith doesn't stay theoretical. Leadership opportunities inside the church and beyond it.
We want teens to walk out of high school with their own faith in Christ. Not just inherited belief, but a settled trust they can defend, live, and pass on.
If your son or daughter is searching, doubting, or sure of nothing yet, that's exactly who we want at the table. Bring them as they are.

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.1 Timothy 4:12 · KJV
At New Antioch
A pulpit for the next generation.
Pastor Jeffrey Lewis served as Youth Pastor here before he was Senior Pastor. The conviction that teens deserve real ministry, not entertainment, runs through this house.
