Trinity youth

Students encountering Jesus

DM your friends

Youth at Trinity exists to love students and to help them encounter Jesus. Everything we do is done with the goal of helping students set a trajectory of discipleship as they increasingly know, love, and live like Jesus. And man, do we have fun doing it!

Youth Retreat | 2026

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Isaiah 43:19 

The world is a big place, filled with beauty and opportunity but also hardship, uncertainty, and struggle. In the middle of all of that, where is God?

Imagine, for a moment, God really is who He says He is. Imagine that what He says about us is true. What would change? What could happen in our lives and that of the people we love?

 

Throughout Imagine If, we will be invited to explore a different narrative: one where our identity is secure, our mistakes don’t have the final word, and God is far bigger…and far better than we could imagine. The possibilities really are endless. Imagine if…

2025 Youth Retreat Recap

Youth Retreat 2025 went far beyond anything we imagined and all the glory belongs to God! All weekend long we witnessed His presence in a powerful way. Our youths worshipped passionately, connected deeply with one another and encountered God in life-changing moments. We truly believe they returned home renewed, strengthened and ready to shine His light.

 

The retreat was filled with unforgettable fun, joyful memories and spiritually impactful sessions that will stay with us for a long time.

 

Here is the highlight video from this year’s Youth Retreat!

 

We can’t wait to do it all again next year and see even more of what God has in store!

What does a typical
youth night look like?

We’re so excited you’re here! We’re crazy about Jesus, and we think doing life with you is kinda the best. Youth is a place to be with your friends, to make new ones, to belong, and to explore what a relationship with Jesus looks like.   

 

A typical night at Youth starts by getting checked-in in the lobby before meeting with your small group. The rest of the night is often a combination of games, activities, worship, teaching, asking questions about faith, sharing about life, and just hanging out with your friends! Join us on Wednesday nights!

For the safety and security of our students, anyone on our campus during a Youth night needs to have completed a criminal record check and finished our “Plan to Protect” training. If you would like to come and check out a Trinity Youth night please text our team at 778.400.4393. Our team would love to partner you with a team member to arrange a guided tour!
