High School

Our vision is for our MKs (JAARS, SIL, Wycliffe) to thrive and to develop a healthy and growing relationship with the Lord wherever they are

High School Youth Group

What to Expect:

The High School Youth ministry is focused on MKs and their friends, grades 9 through 12. The goal is to build a community of Godly fellowship and provide intentional opportunities for spiritual growth. Over 20 students come to the Olive Branch every Thursday night to worship Christ and get to know Him better together. Our student-led worship team leads us into God’s presence. We dig into the Bible through teaching and small group discussion. We pray together, and afterwards, we enjoy a game or some good conversation. If you’re a high school student, come join us! Scott Baldwin leads the high school program.
