Youth Ministries means more than meeting for Sabbath school class every week. Our youth ministry program provides support and encouragement for young people (ages 14-19) in their Christian experience. We strive to create an environment where young people feel safe to share and explore their faith, ask questions, and openly express the challenges they face. We also provide social activities and lots of fun interaction with other young people who love Jesus. Our Youth Leader is Pastor John Bryson.

Each year the Youth Department of the Idaho Conference provides the opportunity for young people be involved in a service project called a Mission Trip. This helps them put their faith into action while experiencing another culture—and what they do changes the lives of others.

In March, 2008, the trip destination is Quilpue, Chile, which is Northwest of Santiago, the capital city of Chile. Our group will build an Adventist church with Maranatha Volunteers International, Inc., as well as hold Bible presentation meetings. 22 young people are going on this trip along with 10 adult supervisors. Any questions regarding the trip can be referred to Pastor John Bryson.
