Wayside has a dynamic and ever-growing Youth Ministry Program! The Sr. High Youth Ministry is called W.T.G.I.F. (Wayside Teens Growing in Faith). The Jr.High program is S.T.A.F.F. (Seeking The Answers. Finding Faith). The basic idea is that we try to offer many different opportunities that specifically interest individual teens and fit their hectic schedules.
So jump on into the site and see what fits your style:
- Peer Ministry (Small group based faith sharing community)
- S.A.L.T. (Service/Summer Mission Trip)
- CYO Basketball
- Liturgical Ministries (Eucharistic Minister, Lector, Music)
- Outreaches (Topic orientated, once-a-month teen gathering-perfect for the first timers)
- Core Team
- Kairos Retreat
- S.T.A.F.F. (Jr. High)
To contact us by phone, please call Kevin in the Youth Ministry Office at (847) 253-5353 ext. 241. If there is no one to take your call, please leave a message on our voice mail. Your call will be returned as soon as possible.
MISSION STATEMENT
In partnership with all teens, whom we love and value, we will create an environment where all can know Jesus and grow in God's love.
