-our mission-
"WayPoint Youth: Glorifying God through walking with and building up students."
All that we do as a ministry can be summarized in that statement. Simply put, we exist for the students. We aren't perfect, but we strive for excellence in every part of our ministry. Our desire is to see students come to the realization that God loves them and wants to transform them to lead lives full of joy and purpose.
All leaders at WayPoint Youth are carefully vetted and selected for the task of leading our youth. Every one of them has a heart to serve and see the youth come to a life-changing understanding of God's love for them. All youth leaders must pass a thorough background check, attend a church, and agree to our Leaders' Constitution. If you are interested in finding out if helping at WayPoint Youth might be a good fit for you, I'd love to sit down and talk with you. These are our youth leaders. They make our wonderful ministry what it is!
