Serve the Youth of St. Max!

St. Max Youth Ministry Adult F.I.R.E. Squad

We walk with teens through support, prayer, presence, and joyful fellowship. Some of us support behind the scenes, others serve through hospitality or intercession, and others accompany teens directly at youth nights and retreats. Together, we help create a community where Christ is encountered and friendship grows.

We are companions, listeners, encouragers, and spiritual big brothers & sisters for the youth of St. Max — helping them know they are loved by God, welcomed into community, and called to sainthood.

Where do you see yourself?

Foundation → Intercession → Reflection → Encounter

Sign up here and Roya will call you to set up a time for coffee.
