C.H.A.O.S!
St. Mark's Youth Group, C.H.A.O.S, is a group of young people (Grades 7 to 12) who regularly come together and are excited about sharing and growing in their faith.
​
​Our Youth events involve a mixture of fun games and activities, making new friends, having a few laughs, enjoying supper, and learning about Jesus.
​
Our Vision for 2024 Youth Ministry is:
"To be a place where Christ’s love crashes into the world’s chaos through the Holy Spirit’s partnership with ordinary people. This creates an opportunity to grow in faith, empower authentic discipleship, and equip them for their life-long faith journey."

Signing in and out:
To ensure the safety of all youth and leaders during C.H.A.O.S. events, we kindly ask for your cooperation with the following guidelines:
Sign-In and Sign-Out Procedures:
If a parent or guardian (over 18) is not signing a youth attendee in or out, we require a simple permission form to be completed. This form must include written consent from the parent or guardian, authorizing the youth to go home with another designated person. This process helps us ensure that all youth return home safely.
Red P-Plate Driver Policy:
Youth on their red P plates are permitted to drive only themselves, immediate family members, or other youth if prior written permission has been arranged with the respective parents or guardians.
Youth with a Guardian Serving as a Leader:
If a youth’s parent or guardian is serving as a leader during the event, the youth must remain within the Church building until the leaders’ debrief meeting has concluded. Youth are not permitted to leave the premises to walk to nearby locations (e.g., McDonald’s) unless accompanied by their guardian or driven by them.
Please fill out the form (Click Here) and return it via email or hand it to the Church office.

C.H.A.O.S is BACK for
2025 Term 1!
WORD-DAY Wednesday
Each week on a Wednesday we will be releasing a devotion that will have the following:
-
Scripture
-
Message
-
Application
-
Prayer
​
A Possible structure that you could use for these devotions:
-
Start with the highs and lows of the week/day
-
Then this makes it a little bit easier to ease into the devotion; this allows for authentic and genuine conversations as they feel like they have been listened to
-
Get the kids to read out a section each to take ownership of the devotion
If you miss a week, I have saved each devotion in a Google doc folder to access these any time during the week Click Here
​
St. Mark's Church strongly opposes any kind of child abuse. St. Mark's Church is committed to the safety, protection and well-being of all children and young people from all forms of abuse and neglect and actively seeks to prevent its occurrence. We make every effort to provide an environment of safety and support for all children and young people.
​
As Christians, we know and proclaim that God loves all human beings. Responding to that love in how we behave towards one another is an important part of that message. As Jesus says in John 13:35, 'If you love each other, everyone will know that you are my disciples'.
