Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. -1 Timothy 4:12
Vision
Our vision is to see God's Kingdom established in Loudoun County. We aspire to live Christ-centered, Kingdom-based lives. We desire to see the Gospel take root in schools, and to transform the youth of Loudoun County. We are continually striving to be active followers of Jesus so we may be living examples of how God transforms lives.
We're in a transition period now, as Amir has left our staff as Youth Pastor. If you would like more information, or to become involved, call our Vestry member in charge of Youth Discipleship, Pam Rogers at 703-574-2524.
What's Happening?
-
Senior High/ Young Life Senior High Youth meet along with adults for worship and Sunday School at Mill Run Elementary. We encourage our youth to get involved with the Young Life chapter at the High School nearest them. In Ashburn, Young Life happens at Stone Bridge High School. For more information, call Nancy Muir at 703-729-5717, or check out the link above.
-
Junior High/ WyldLife Junior High youth are encouraged to worship along with Senior High and adults on Sunday. We have also partnered with Young Life's WyldLife program in Ashburn. This means that every other week we'll be going to an alternate location for WyldLife from 7:30-9:00 PM. WyldLife is a fun program focused on outreach to Junior High students that includes fun, games and a Gospel talk.
-
Discipleship occurs throughout the year as well. Youth are encouraged to meet with older mentors for personal growth in Christ through one-on-one discipleship. More information about discipleship is available by calling Pastor Clancy at the church office (703-726-0777).

Reach Workcamp Mission trip to Ohio, July 6-12. You and your teenaged son or daughter are invited to prayerfully consider coming with me (Pastor Clancy) to Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio from July 6-12 on a mission trip where we will do manual labor fixing up elderly poor people’s homes. This mission trip is run by Reach Workcamps, a conservative evangelical parachurch ministry. I’ve led two other Reach trips, and this is a high quality organization. You or your teen will join 450 other junior and senior high kids (rising 7th-12 grades) from all over the US and sleep on the floor of a local high school. We work as a team from 8am- 2 or 3 in the afternoon, and after a shower, there is free time till dinner. Then we have an awesome evening’s program, including a slide show from that day’s work sites, a high quality drama, great contemporary worship and gospel talk, and small group discussion time.
The cost for the trip is $380. I always encourage people to raise their support like the missionaries they are rather than simply paying for it themselves, so that they can involve other people in their trip with prayer and support. We will teach them how to write letters requesting support (I have a template), and to follow up on those letters. We will drive there on Sunday July 6 after the congregation prays for us during the worship service, and return early afternoon the following Saturday the 12th.
Available slots are quite limited. I have 4 definitely coming already, and interest is high for this opportunity. I have openings to this already full camp from another local church which reserved them months ago, but finds they don't need all their spaces. If you’d like to come, please let me know ASAP to reserve your spot. I need to know by May 20 whether you’d like to come. I’ll need just a couple of adult volunteers as well.
For more information about how to get involved in these events please email our youth pastor or call him at the church office (703-726-0777).
