Students

Students are integral to the mission of Resurrection! We invest in the next generation by supporting parents and connecting students with adult mentors and peers who also love Jesus. RezYouth gathers on Wednesday nights to hang out, worship, learn, and pray. To receive regular email updates on RezYouth news and events, sign up below. If you have any questions, reach out to Deacon Will Chester, Executive Pastor, at willchester@churchrez.org, or Caleb Karnosh, Student Ministry Director, at calebkarnosh@churchrez.org.

For Parents

We believe parents are the primary disciplers of their children—we exist to support you! Alongside providing your student with a relational network of adult mentors and like-minded peers, we love helping parents think about their discipleship role through offering helpful resources and being available for pastoral support. Keep in touch with RezYouth through our weekly news email and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Our child and youth protection policy has been in place since 2006 and undergoes periodic review and upgrades. The current version was published in 2022 after a year-long period of significant research and review. The primary purpose of our policy is to promote the safety and well-being of children and youth by providing clear instructions about the operation of children and youth ministries.
