Anchor Youth

For Students Ages 11–18
Anchor’s deep desire is to see adolescents become passionate followers of Jesus. To that end, it is our joy to partner with and equip parents to make disciples of their kids and mobilize them to become devoted disciples of Jesus by the power of the gospel and the Spirit. Our Anchor Youth leaders and volunteers lead times of interactive, age-directed Bible study, combined with a variety of activities and plenty of time to just hang out.

Youth meets Sundays for various activities and events ranging from Sunday morning worship & devotionals, serving various outreach ministries within Hampton Roads, and weekend activities and retreats.

Check back often! The schedule will be updated as the year progresses.

Boys' and Girls' Retreats!
Friends, school, social media - the world - tries to shape us and tell us who we are and what we're to become, but they are not our Creator. We have access to the one who knew us and knitted us together in our mother's womb (Psalm 139:13,15). We have the words of a gracious and loving Father who guides us through every season of life (Psalm 73:23,24). What greater person than Jesus do we have to teach us about who we truly are?

Students, spend a weekend with us to dig into what it looks like to be made in the image of God. Through intentional time together, in small groups, and alone with God, we'll discover the lies we're believing about ourselves and what Jesus has to say about who we are!
