Raising bold disciples who know Jesus, hear His voice, and carry His Kingdom into their world.

Franklin Vineyard Youth is a community for 6th–12th grade students where teens grow in their identity as sons and daughters of God, build real friendships, and learn to walk in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. We create environments where students can worship freely, study Scripture, ask big questions, and encounter God for themselves.

We believe Gen Z is called, anointed, and ready — not someday, but right now.

Weekly Gatherings

Wednesdays
6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

A high-energy night with worship, teaching, small groups, and community. Students are discipled in age-based and same-gender small groups — Jr. High and High School meet separately for deeper connection, prayer, accountability, and encouragement.

Sundays
5:00 PM

We begin in the main service for worship, then students gather for youth discipleship time.

Encounter Jesus.
Build a foundation.
Live it out.

Our mission is to see students encounter God, be transformed by His presence, and confidently step into their callings.

Safe, Encouraging Community

Our leaders are trained, background-checked, and passionate about discipling students, encouraging them, and helping them grow in biblical maturity and Christ-centered confidence.


We believe youth aren’t the church of tomorrow — they are the church of right now.
