MPACT YOUTH
Mpact is the youth ministry of Faith Church for students 6th -12th grade.
We’re dedicated to partnering with parents to lead children to discover that with Jesus they are destined to win. Through age-specific lessons, activities, and small groups, children learn biblical truths and real-life lessons they can apply to their lives every week.

Mpact is the youth group of Faith Church. We meet every single Wednesday from 6:30 PM-9 PM. This is literally every Wednesday night. The only exception is the Wednesday during Christmas break. We believe in being consistent with the next generation!
From 6:30 PM-7:15 PM: Students go to the gym, play games, get snacks, and hang out.
From 7:15 PM- 8:30 PM: Students will go to a youth service with worship, a message, and frequent altar time. There are times when service will extend past 8:30 PM.
From 8:30 PM-9:00 PM: Students go to their small group, which is broken up by grade and gender. This allows students to be in a more intimate setting where they can learn from leaders and develop relationships. Once small groups are dismissed, students can hang out or leave. Many students elect to go to Chick-fil-A after service, but that has nothing to do with Mpact.
Parents are free to pick up their child anytime during the night!

Something that we value at Mpact is the importance of discipleship. One of the ways that we do this is by hosting a Bible study for students on Thursday nights at 6PM. This normally only runs in the spring and summer as we understand that students have school obligations and homework. We will go through various series such as: how to read the Bible, understanding spiritual gifts, spiritual disciplines, and more. This allows our students to ask questions and really dive deep into the Scriptures. Not only do students learn the Bible though, but students also have the opportunity to form healthy relationships. The Bible study portion lasts for about 30 minutes to an hour, but students will often hang out until 9 PM. Bible study is hosted at Pastor Joey and Pastor Brianna’s house; however, it is also available over Zoom.
During the fall and winter months, Mpact hosts guys and girls group. This is an opportunity for the guys and girls of Mpact to get together separately and develop healthy friendships. During guys and girls group, we teach things that are more catered toward your student's gender. Pastor Brianna or another trusted female leader teaches the female students and Pastor Joey or another trusted male leader teaches the male students. Not only is there a Bible study component, but we also incorporate fun activities for the students. The location of guys and girls group changes every month, so make sure to stay tuned to our Mpact parent email for more information.
Mpact hangouts are fairly straightforward. This is when Mpact students get together and simply hang out. There is usually not a Bible component at these events. It is just an opportunity for students to get together and have fun.
Yes! Mpact has discipleship at the 9 AM and 11 AM Sunday services. We meet in the back of the sanctuary and leave after praise and worship to go to the Mpact Middle School room across from the cafeteria.
Serve it up Sunday is every 4th Sunday of the month. This is where students serve within a ministry of the church that weekend. There is no weekend discipleship these weekends as we promote students to serve and sit together in the front right rows of the sanctuary at the 11 AM service. For a student to sign up for Serve It Up Sunday, email joey@faithchurch.cc.
We have information about our youth retreat on this website. If you go to events, click new milford, and scroll down, you will see the information about the youth retreat. These are yearly weekend trips that we go on as a youth group. Students have an opportunity to bond with each other, have fund, and receive from the teaching and demonstration of the Word of God. Students stay in cabins with other students of similar age and gender. If the price is an issue, we do have limited sponsorships. There is no guarentee with sponsorships, but we do our very best to fill them. To inquire more about youth sponsorships, email brianna.santora@faithchurch.cc.
