Welcome to Our Next Gen Ministry

At Real Love, we’re passionate about helping middle and high school students (grades 6–12) discover who they are in Christ and how they can live out their faith in today’s world. Our Next Gen Ministry is here to walk alongside both teens and their parents during these exciting—and sometimes challenging—years of growth, identity, and spiritual development.

Our Mission

To equip and inspire students to know Jesus personally, grow in their faith, and boldly live as His disciples in their homes, schools, and communities.

We do this by:
 • Teaching God’s Word in ways that are relevant and engaging
 • Creating space for authentic relationships and open discussions
 • Offering mentorship and leadership opportunities
 • Partnering with parents to support the spiritual health of the whole family

What We Offer

Weekly Gatherings:
 • Middle School & High School Nights – A mix of fun, worship, teaching, and small groups designed to help students grow in faith and friendship.
 • Sunday Mornings – Bible study and discussion designed to complement the main service and apply biblical truth to teen life.

Small Groups:
 • Age- and gender-based small groups led by trusted adult leaders who guide teens through meaningful conversations and discipleship.

Special Events:
 • Retreats, camps, mission trips, and hangouts that build community and give students space to encounter God in new ways.

Leadership Development:
 • Opportunities for students to serve in ministry, grow as leaders, and discover their God-given gifts.

Partnering with Parents

We believe that parents are the primary spiritual influencers in a teen’s life. Our role is to support and empower you as you guide your student through these formative years.

We’re committed to:
 • Keeping you informed about what your teen is learning and experiencing
 • Offering resources and workshops to help navigate the challenges of adolescence
 • Being a consistent, prayerful support for your family

A Safe & Supportive Environment

We take student safety seriously. All of our leaders are background-checked and trained to provide a welcoming, respectful, and secure space where your teen can be known, valued, and encouraged.
