Student Ministries
At KBC, our goal is to partner with parents as they strive to lead their youth towards Jesus in meaningful and tangible ways. We endeavour to craft a safe space where students can learn to be vulnerable, are challenged in their faith, and encouraged in their spiritual growth. We strive to walk with students during their journey from adolescence to adulthood, leading them to develop the tools they will need to take ownership of their faith and to be self-engaging in the Christian community by the time they finish high school. Wherever a student falls on the spectrum of faith, from seeker to mature believer, our passion is to lead students closer to Jesus, help them to discover their gifts and to provide them opportunities to get plugged into community.
YOUTH CALENDAR January 2026 - AUGUST 2026
Hub App
Parents and students can keep up to date on events, announcement, and weekly lesson plans through The Hubs App
Please contact Adam Giles at youth@kbc.ca to join the Hubs group after you have downloaded the app.
Base Camp (Junior Youth) is a time of encouragement for self-feeding their relationship with God; as well as a chance to start to build an on-going relationship with the youth and show them how much we value and care about them.
Junior Youth
- Tuesdays 6:30-8:15 pm – youth group (worship, lesson, and games for grades 6-8)
Join us for Youth Alpha - Starting January 6. Dinner included.
Contact Sarah Kastler skastler@kbc.ca with any questions
Summit (Senior Youth) is where we start encouraging the youth to start thinking about their faith as a personal choice. It is where we guide them on their path to making their faith their own instead of something they may have adopted from their family and what it means to plant their flag for Christ.
Sunday Morning Live (SML)
SML, for Jr and Sr youth, takes place on Sunday mornings during the school year at 10:30am. Youth start in the sanctuary to participate in worship and then move to the youth room to engage in a lesson and discussion.
On the first Sunday of the month (communion Sunday), SML will not happen and the youth will remain in the service
Bible Quizzing
Kanata Baptist Church is participating in the Bible quizzing program for students in grades 6 - 12.
Regular meetings will be on Sundays from 11:30am - 2pm at the church.
Come eat together, have fun, memorize scripture, apply God's word, and compete against youth from across the province.
