Why Do We Exist?

To carry out the Mission, Vision, and Values of Genesis Church in the lives of students in grades 7 through 12.

We accomplish this through Gospel-Centered, Biblically-Grounded, and Kingdom-Minded programs for students to engage with God and one another!

What is offered for my students?

  • 7th-12th grade students are invited to join us in the Student Center for a time that’s more than just church—it’s connection, discovery, and growth. Students will dive deep into God’s Word through our book-by-book study, make real friendships, and experience worship that’s authentic and uplifting.

    If there are any questions, please e-mail us at students@genesisyork.com.

  • Open to students in 7th through 12th grade, Wednesday nights are a midweek time to connect, grow, and have fun together. 

    6:30 PM – Food 
    The Snack Shack opens! Grab treats and hang out with friends before the night kicks off. 

    7:00 PM – Games 
    We dive into group games that bring energy and laughter to the room. 

    7:30 PM - Message 
    Afterward, we transition into a relevant, real-life message from Word of Life, followed by small group discussions that wrap up by 8:30 PM. 

    Our messages tackle meaningful topics—from challenges like suicide, divorce, and LGBTQ+ issues to deeper studies on Jesus Christ and the doctrines of salvation. We’re proud to be a Word of Life Club, partnering with Word of Life to bring truth and hope to students every week.

  • 7th - 12th graders are invited to join us throughout the school year for Ignite Points— high energy themed events for students and their friends! Each gathering is packed with: 

    • Epic games that spark laughter and teamwork 

    • Unforgettable themes that bring the night to life 

    • Food and fun that fuel connection 

    • Life-changing Gospel messages shared in a welcoming, energetic environment 

    Ignite Points is the place to build powerful friendships and encounter life changing biblical truths. It’s the ideal opportunity for students to invite their friends and ignite their faith together. Stay tuned for upcoming dates!
