Who we are · Why we gather
Antwerp Youth Group is a place where students can belong, build real friendships, and grow in their faith. Each week, we gather for worship, Scripture, honest conversation, fun, and small groups where students are known, encouraged, and cared for.

Our mission
We exist to point students to Jesus through worship and the teaching of God's Word; to care for them as whole people; and to help them grow in their faith through small groups where they are known, supported, and loved.
Our vision
Our vision is for every student in our community to have a place where they belong, an opportunity to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the encouragement and guidance they need to develop a faith they can genuinely call their own.

Encouragement and guidance to grow
Scripture is the authority for everything we teach and practice. We want students not only to know what the Bible says, but also to understand how its truth applies to their everyday lives.
We believe faith is more than a collection of ideas or beliefs. It shapes how we love God, treat others, make decisions, respond to challenges, and live each day.
We are committed to creating an environment in which every student is welcomed, valued, protected, and treated with dignity. We want students to know that they are seen, cared for, and never overlooked.
Students are:

We want students to know that church is a safe place to ask difficult questions, express doubts, and seek understanding. We respond with patience, grace, and biblical truth, trusting that sincere questions can become an important part of a growing and enduring faith.
We believe students are served best when parents, guardians, churches, and trusted Christian adults work together. Our goal is not to replace the ministry of the local church or the role of the family, but to come alongside both as we help raise a generation of strong, courageous, Bible-believing followers of Jesus who are prepared to make a difference in the world.
