Overview
Launch Youth is a space designed to help students 6th thru 12th grade start or set in motion (LAUNCH) their faith, their character and their relationships while deepening a sense of belonging to a loving Father.
In a culture that is filled with opportunities to ‘connect’ with others, many young people are feeling disconnected. We have a deep value at The Father's House, that we as individuals we were never created to 'do life' alone. But rather we were created for community, for relationship. With the support of healthy, supportive relationships we discover who we are as image barriers of God. Launch youth, strives to to partner alongside parents, and create a community where young people, regardless of their interest, backgrounds or beliefs feel connected to God and others.
Launch is a gathering of students who love Jesus and want to hang out with other students who share that same love. We strive to create and ‘judgement free zone’ where young people feel encouraged and celebrated for the uniqueness of who they are while learning to take their faith and apply it to their daily lives.
We hang out, play games, worship, study the Bible and spend time in age and gender-specific tribes where we laugh, grow and build relationships.
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Each week may look slightly different as we intentionally build belonging. Utilizing small groups, worship, teachings, games and outings. Our intention each week is to create space where each and every young person connects with their faith and others. We utilize these service times to allow young people to develop skills through singing, playing instruments, leading small group conversations, serving in the audio and media department that allows them to express themselves and engage in their faith journey.
Youth Week
For over 30 years, we have hosted Youth Week. A week for and about our teenagers, designed with them and for them to not only celebrate them but to also deepen their spiritual roots, rhythms and relationships.
Each night of the week has a specific theme we focus on. We do this by using age appropriate methods for instilling these foundational truths in their lives taking into consideration the specific group of kids we are working with at the the time.
