Welcome to Bayview Youth
Bayview Youth is a ministry for students from grades 6 to 12. Our mission at Bayview Youth is that we work together, so that every student in the GTA, will experience God's love and His created purpose through Jesus.

Bayview Youth Life Groups:
March to June from 7 to 8:30 PM
We have three groups:
Jr. High North - Bathurst and Centre (Friday Nights)
Sr. High North - Don Mills and John (Thursday Nights)
Sr. High South - Yonge and Finch (Wednesday Nights)
From March to June, instead of meeting together as a big group, Life Groups will meet weekly in homes around the GTA for students to grow in their relationships with one another and Jesus.
What is Life Groups?
Youth hang out, play games, and engage in small group discussions led by Life Group leaders. The goal is to deepen connections with one another and encourage each other in the Christian walk.
The Last Week of the Month
Don’t fret! Students will still meet as a big group at the church the last week of every month. As one big group, we celebrate what is happening in the smaller groups and of course, have fun together.

Jr. High Morning:
Sundays at 11:15 AM
Grades 6 to 8
We want to create a space where our students can receive teaching targeted to what they are going through. Whether it is a series on “Why We Read the Bible” or “How to be a Good Friend”, we know that our Jr. High students have questions about what they believe. We desire to show them what the Christian life is all about.

FAQs
What age group is Youth?
We work with students grades 6-12. If your student is in grade 6-12 we would love to have them join us!
What happens at Bayview Youth Sunday?
We run Bayview Youth Sunday Morning only during the first service (11:15 AM). Students start off in the sanctuary either with their family, or they can sit in the designated youth section of the sanctuary. Before the sermon, students will then leave the sanctuary and head up stairs to the Youth Space for a time of teaching and small group. Parents can then pick up their student from the Youth Space.
What happens at Bayview Youth Friday?
We meet from 7-8:30 PM every Friday to engage in community and experience the love of God and His created purpose for them. We usually start off with a time of casual hangout with snacks and a chance for everyone to catch up. After we play a game or engage in a fun activity together to help make everyone feel welcome. Following that, students gather in the youth space for a time of teaching and discussion about relevant topics for the lives of our student. We hope that every student feels loved and connected to one another throughout the whole night so much so that they want to be there every week and invite their friends.
I am/my child is really shy, is Bayview Youth a good place for them?
Absolutely! We know that being in a large group can be intimidating. When your student arrives for the first few times, they are matched up with a student leader and/or their small group leader who are very welcoming and will help you feel comfortable throughout the night. We aim to make every student feel welcomed and like they have been here for years even after only a few weeks.
