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.

Youth Retreat

Middle and High school students, you're invited to the Anchor Youth Fall Retreat!

This retreat is more than a weekend away - it's an opportunity to step away from the noise, deepen your walk with Jesus, build genuine Christian friendships, and create memories that will last long after the weekend ends.

We'll enjoy great food, fun games, worship, biblical teaching, and meaningful conversations. Our prayer is that this weekend becomes a meaningful step in your lifelong journey of following Jesus. After the retreat, we'll continue growing together through accountability groups because discipleship doesn't end on Sunday morning.
