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 teens and help them grow into fully devoted followers of
Jesus Christ.
Vision
Teens living 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
What we Do
Ministry Features
JOURNEY NIGHTS
Whether you’re exploring what it means to be a Christian or you’ve already made the decision to follow Jesus, we want to help you encounter God in a meaningful way. Journey Nights are our weekly service with games, teaching, and lots of community time. When you come, bring a friend with you!
HIGH SCHOOL: Tuesdays, 7P
MIDDLE SCHOOL: Wednesdays, 7P
SMALL GROUPS
Small groups are a safe place to ask questions, talk about life, and learn what a relationship with Jesus looks like. In your small group, you can find a group of friends who are dealing with the same things you are. You are not meant to go through life alone! Small groups take place during the second half of Journey Nights.

PEAKE YOUTH LEADERS
