Engage Youth Ministry

So roll up your sleeves, get your head in the game, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy.”

- 1 Peter 1:13-16 MSG

Upcoming Events

We value your input as we continue to grow and strengthen Engage Youth Ministry, and we’d love to hear from you! Jason, Wendy, and Angie will be hosting a Parent Feedback Meeting on Sunday, March 23, immediately following the service in the youth room.

This is a great opportunity to share your thoughts, ask questions, and discuss ways we can better support and encourage our youth. Your perspective is important, and we appreciate your partnership in shaping a ministry that helps our students grow in their faith.

We hope you can join us!

Join us for a powerful evening of worship on Friday, March 28 at 7PM, led by our youth and young adults! While the worship team will be made up of the next generation, this event is open to the entire congregation.

Our theme for the night is “Desperate for the Spirit of God”—a time to seek His presence, encounter His power, and unite as the Church in worship and prayer. We are expecting God to move in incredible ways as we lift our voices together.

The evening will include worship, a short message, and breakout prayer, giving us the opportunity to truly engage with God and one another as the Church was meant to.

Check us out on social media!

We use the band app for all communications regarding events, polls, to share pictures, and to foster discussion!

Meet Engage

  • The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.

    - Zephaniah 3:17

  • All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

    - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

  • Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

    - 1 Thessalonians 5:11

  • Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

    - Matthew 28:16-20

Angie Bolton

Ministry Assistant

Angie began her personal walk with the Lord at the age of 12 and passionately pursued Him through personal Bible study and worship before finding her church home at Living Rock in 2017. From the very start of her Christian walk, Angie found that worship is what helped her to connect most intimately with Jesus. Developing her relationship with the Lord through song, Angie felt as though she was called to be a worship leader. She joined Living Rock’s worship ministry in 2018 and has been serving as a worship leader for 3.5 years. Angie began youth ministry in September 2020 and served as the ministry’s intern for 2 years before becoming the ministry assistant and youth leader in 2023. Having found Jesus at a young age and graduated from high school in 2020, Angie understands what it’s like to be a Christian teenager in today’s world. She hopes to create genuine connections with the youth in order to show them God’s Love and help prayerfully direct them in the path that God is calling them to. Angie’s vision for the youth is to see a generation of teenagers on fire for God, walking in the freedom of Christ, led and filled by the Holy Spirit. Angie holds a Bachelor of Education in Elementary Education.
