Arnprior Youth
A safe, fun, faith-based Friday night community for students in Grades 6–12.
Arnprior Youth is a Friday night youth experience for students in Grades 6–12.
In partnership with local churches in town, students are invited into a safe, welcoming, faith-based community where they can build friendships, explore truth, learn life skills, study the Bible, serve others, and encounter the living God.
It is designed for students who are already following Jesus, students who are just beginning to ask questions, and students who are simply looking for a positive place to belong.
Arnprior Youth is for students in Grades 6–12.
Students are grouped by age so they can connect with others in a similar stage of life.
- Grades 6–8: Junior High
- Grades 9–12: Senior High
Whether you come with friends or show up not knowing anyone yet, the goal is to help every student feel welcomed, included, and encouraged.
Arnprior Youth meets on Friday evenings.
Current grade-specific times are:
- Grades 6–8: 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM
- Grades 9–12: 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Since schedules can occasionally change because of holidays, special events, weather, or school breaks, it is a good idea to follow @arnprioryouth on Instagram or contact the church office before attending for the first time.

This is a multi-church youth ministry, which means students from different churches and backgrounds gather together for one shared youth experience.
Every night may look a little different, but students can usually expect a mix of:
- icebreakers,
- games,
- discussion times,
- Bible study,
- life skills,
- opportunities to serve,
- tuck shop,
- and time to build friendships.
The goal is to create a space that is fun, meaningful, safe, and spiritually encouraging.
No. You do not have to have everything figured out to come to youth.
You may be following Jesus, asking questions about faith, unsure what you believe, or simply looking for a positive place to connect with other students.
You are welcome to come, listen, participate at your own pace, and ask honest questions.
Faith grows best in a place where students can be honest, welcomed, and encouraged.
Yes. Friends are welcome.
You can invite a classmate, neighbour, teammate, sibling, or friend to come with you on a Friday night.
Bringing a friend can make the first night feel easier, and it is a great way to help someone else find a safe and encouraging community.
You do not need much.
Helpful things to bring:
- yourself,
- a friend,
- a Bible if you have one,
- a notebook if you like taking notes,
- and some change for tuck.
If you do not have a Bible, that is okay. You can still come.
Tuck is the snack shop.
Students are encouraged to bring some change if they would like to buy snacks during the night.
Snacks are part of the fun, but the best part of youth is the community, conversation, and friendships that happen along the way.
Safety matters deeply.
Arnprior Youth is committed to creating a safe, faith-based community where students are welcomed, respected, and cared for.
Because this is a multi-church youth ministry, leadership and safety practices are shared through the partnering churches. If you are a parent or guardian and have questions about supervision, registration, safety protocols, allergies, pickup, or contact information, please reach out to the church office.
We know parents and guardians want their students to have a place that is fun, meaningful, and safe.
Arnprior Youth exists to help students build healthy friendships, explore faith, grow in character, learn biblical truth, and be surrounded by caring leaders and positive community.
If your student is new, nervous, has questions, or has specific needs we should be aware of, please contact the church office. We would be glad to help them feel more comfortable before their first night.
