All of our Christian Youth services seek to communicate God’s truth in compelling, relevant and practical ways for our youth. Building relationships with God and with each other.

• 10:00am Sunday Youth Service:
  Students begin in the main sanctuary at 10:00 for Praise & Worship and are then dismissed to the youth room to attend their own weekly teaching. Typical lessons help relate Biblical teaching with their own lives today.
• 9:00am Sunday Coffee Q&A:
  Join us every Sunday, prior to regular Youth Service, for a non-structured Q&A session, in a relaxed atmosphere, with coffee, tea, and other refreshments along with light snacks. You have questions? We’ll help you find the right answers.
• 7:00pm Thursday Midweek Youth:
  Join us every Thursday for Fun, Food, Games, and Fellowship with plenty of time for Worship and a short lesson focused on what Teens need to hear most.

Living Word 1 Youth is a grace-based non-denominational youth ministry for ALL. We’re equipping our youth to win through Acceptance, Laughter, and Love. The A is for Acceptance–we ACCEPT you just the way that you are with no judgement. The first L is for Laughter–we think church should be full of LAUGHTER and not stuffy or boring. The second L is for Love–we LOVE you when you walk in, and we help our students walk out loving those around them in our community.

Our mission is to empower youth to develop a strong, lasting relationship in Christ and to give them the spiritual tools and the support necessary to enable them to make right choices towards God’s purpose for their lives and to give them the confidence to share their faith with others.

Our Vision: We see a friendly, welcoming environment where young people always feel comfortable to share and are open to learning and to actively participating. A place that they enjoy and even look forward to coming to.

We see a ministry that teaches the word of God in a way that is relevant to youth today and in a context that can be applied directly to their own lives. Activities will be used to balance the teaching with “fun time” for fellowship and for inviting friends.

We see a program that builds tomorrow’s leaders by giving our youth the tools and the opportunity to lead themselves whenever possible. Building confidence, self-esteem and faith to be leaders in the Church and in the community.

Our 1 Youth Logo Meaning:
⁴ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; ⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism; ⁶ one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. [Ephesians 4:4-6]

Living Word Ahwatukee is a Christ-centered, Spirit-filled, Bible church, committed to “Building Strong Homes and Families” and to helping you run your race. We believe God is good and that Jesus came that we might have life and lots of it. We are a campus of Living Word Bible Church in Mesa, AZ.
