Zion is our Junior High ministry at Anthem Chapel. Whether students have never been to church or have been going their whole life, we invite all 7th and 8th grade students to be a part of Zion.
 
Our weekly events include a Wednesday night youth group and a Sunday morning church service. Both focus on hanging out together, having fun, learning about God, and growing in faith. We also organize a range of programs including seasonal camps and monthly events.

Our mission at Zion is to point to Jesus so that junior high students in our area would know God and experience His incredible love for them. You can subscribe below to our weekly newsletter to stay up to date with everything we have going on for 7th and 8th grade students.

Meet with A Pastor

Junior High Lunch Clubs

We help run Gospel-centered events at our local public schools every week. These clubs are student run and supported by local churches and ministries. We hang out, play a fun game, eat lunch, and talk about Jesus. You can find us at La Colina every Tuesday in Room 502 and at Goleta Valley every Wednesday in the Multi Purpose Room. 

 

Zion Surf Club

Zion Surf Club is a group for junior high students who love to surf. We host surf days and camping trips for kids who already have some experience surfing. Reach out to monty@anthemchapel.com for more information about our next adventure.

 

Zion Serve team

Zion Serve Team is our junior high student leadership program at Anthem Chapel. It is for students who want to go deeper in their relationship with God and help make Zion the best ministry that it can be. It is a year long commitment to lead in our youth group through serving others. Any junior high student who loves Jesus and wants to love others can talk to Monty about applying for the Serve Team.

 

Volunteer with Zion

We are always looking for young adults and college students who love Jesus and want to show up in the lives of junior high students. If you are interested in serving with Zion, please email monty@anthemchapel.com to schedule a meeting with our Junior High Youth Director.
For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”
