Welcome To Chesapeake
Youth Ministry
PEAKE YOUTH
Real truth can feel confusing, especially for teens these days. In Peake Youth, we invite students to build their lives on the foundation of the only Truth, Jesus Christ.
We’re committed to providing a place for Middle and High School students to connect with God, with other students, and with their leaders who are dedicated to helping students grow closer to Jesus. Everyone wants to belong to something, and Peake Youth centers around relationships: relationships with one another and with God. We believe that the full life is a life fully devoted to Jesus Christ.
FULL DEVOTION TO JESUS IS NORMAL
Mission
To reach unchurched teens and help them grow into fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
Vision
A community full of teens who live out loud for Christ.
Verse
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” JOHN 10:10

PEAKE YOUTH LEADERS
Peake Youth Leaders make Peake Youth amazing! Leaders start with their students in 6th grade and continue with them all the way through High School. Because of this, our leaders and teens create relationships that are safe, genuine, and lifelong.
Interested in becoming a leader? Fill out a Volunteer Application and submit it to our Peake Youth Team at peakeyouth@chesapeakechurch.org. All leaders go through an interview process and routine background check.
