Kettering Youth Ministry at Kettering SDA Church exists to help our young people (junior high and high school) grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ while finding purpose, community, and direction for their lives. Through weekly gatherings, service opportunities, spiritual mentorship, and interactive bible study, we provide a safe and Christ-centered environment where Youth can explore faith, ask honest questions, and grow in their spiritual journey. Rooted in the SDA 28 Fundamental Beliefs, our aim is to form disciples and to nurture heart, mind, and body in preparation for a lifetime of service and commitment to Jesus. Whether you have been here your whole life, or it’s your first time stepping into our doors - you are welcome here.

We serve junior high and high school students
Each class includes worship through music, prayer, hands-on activities, study of the word, and meaningful discussions. Our goal is to help our youth know Jesus and grow in faith in a safe, welcoming environment.
We host a variety of events throughout the year such as vespers, game nights, movie nights, outings, yearly lock in, weekend revival events (May & September), and worship nights. Our main event outside of sabbath morning is MIDWEEK Bible study.
Our ministry is led by Pastor Cristian Sorto, and our Youth and Worship, elders, and dedicated staff and trained volunteers who love Jesus and love youth. All leaders undergo background checks and training to ensure your child's safety.
We welcome parent involvement and volunteers! Whether you're interested in teaching, assisting, planning events, or supporting behind the scenes, we’d love to talk with you. Email Pastor Cristian Sorto and he’d love to connect with you and get you engaged in ministry!
Everyone is welcome. We value open conversation and community, regardless of your church background or beliefs.
