We believe our junior high students are eXtraordinary people with eXcess energy ready and eager to make an eXciting difference in the world. We want you to eXperience God’s great love for you at Village Green.

What we do

eXtra Friday Nite Live

Every Friday from 7 to 8:30 pm our junior high students get together at the church for fun-action packed games, snacks, Bible study and discussion groups that are relevant and applicable to the issues facing junior high students ... it’s here where truth gets unwrapped! FNL is also a great place to hang out with friends and develop some great relationships with other junior high students.

eXtra 1/2 Time

1/2 time is the junior high Sunday teaching time during the church service where the students are taught on the same topic covered in the morning worship service but from an age-appropriate youth perspective. The students start in the service with the rest of the congregation giving them an opportunity to worship before going to the youth room for their teaching time.

Whatever the topic, interaction with others and application is always the norm at 1/2 Time.

eXtra Events

Once or twice a month the junior high youth get together for big events – usually on Friday nights in place of Friday Nite Live. A great time to invite friends along to share the fun. These include everything from themed outreach events (like “Lost in Paradise”) to socials at various locations around the city (like the “corn maze”) to service opportunities in our community (like a “Rake and Run”). For an extra amazing time, the Junior high also attend Bedlam with about 600 other junior high students from across the province. Bedlam is the annual junior high retreat held at Muskoka Woods Sports Resort, organized by the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches.
