Ignited junior high

LOVED BY THE FATHER, LIT FOR HIS MISSION!


Our vision in Ignited Junior High Ministry is to ignite a passion for Christ in the hearts of young believers. Inspired by 1 John 3:1 and 2 Timothy 1:4, we seek to help students experience God’s love, develop a deep relationship with Him, and boldly share their faith.


This ministry is for students sixth through eighth grade. We strive to help students become more closely connected to Christ, friends and the church. Weekly classes and regularly planned events and activities keep students excited about what is coming up next. The leadership team chooses curriculum and a teaching plan with our students needs in mind. We want to keep them engaged in and reliant on God's Word.

Weekly Classes

Sunday Mornings | 11am | Sanctuary and room 106

Our Sunday mornings are set to engage students in the Bible. We start our morning in the Sanctuary for worship and then move downstairs to our classroom afterwards. Our goal is to help students understand what God is saying to them and to the world around them. We engage in meaningful discussions during our time together as we learn more about the Bible and how it relates to our everyday lives.


Wednesday Nights | 7pm | Room 106

On Wednesday nights we have our Ignited service where we dive into worship, teaching, altar calls and fun. The Ignited team strives to help our students apply Christ to their daily lives. We give them the opportunity to spend valuable time with God in worship and prayer.

Special Events

Ignited Jr High students have a unique opportunity to partner with the Stoked High School students for a few events and camps throughout the year. This creates an atmosphere where students can encourage each other while striving for a closer relationship with Jesus. 


Ignited Jr High Ministry offers exciting events like retreats, service projects, camps, conferences and more throughout the year. Stay up to date on the upcoming events by following our Instagram page. Click here to get connected on Instagram.


Ministry Leader

Pastor Johnny Deary leads our Ignited students with his wife Cheyenne. Johnny is newer to our pastoral staff team, but he and Cheyenne have been serving at New Life for many years now, and we cannot wait to see how God uses them and their vision to reach the students.


The Ignited leadership team is full of strong leaders including Aaron and Elyssa Floyd, Susana Reis and Brett Martin, Hannah Caspar and Steve Hernandez. They bring high-energy, structure and a safe place for our students to learn and grow spiritually in.
