Youth

Living unashamed of the gospel.

Youth Ministry

6th-12th Grade

At Valley Center Community Church, our heart for youth is to see students in Valley Center and beyond equipped for a lifelong journey of following Jesus. Through teaching, discipleship, and community, VCCC Youth exists to help middle and high school students grow in their faith, develop meaningful relationships, and live unashamed of the gospel.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes…”
Romans 1:16

Weekly Youth Gatherings

Youth Sunday School

Youth Sunday School

During the 10:45 am service | Office Flexspace

After singing during the 10:45am service, junior high and high school students are dismissed to meet in separate Bible studies designed to go deeper into God’s Word. 

We us this time to explore relevant cultural and political topics, discussing how Scripture shapes our response and actions. We believe students will either be shaped by the world or equipped by God’s truth—and our goal is to prepare them to stand firm, think biblically, and live counterculturally as Christians.

Youth Group

Wednesday Nights | 7-8:30 pm

Join us every Wednesday evening for games, worship, relevant teaching from God’s Word, and meaningful small group discussions.

Students are combined for the first half of the evening through the large-group teaching. Afterward, they break into grade-based small groups led by consistent, caring leaders who invest in them each week. These groups create a space to build strong relationships, process the message, and talk through what’s happening in their lives.
