Who We Are
Ignite is our youth ministry for students grades 9-12th. Ignite is a place for students to better understand God’s Word and to learn to apply the Word practically to your life.
All high school students are welcome to join us at Ignite whether you attend Living Word regularly, occasionally or not at all.
If you love the Word or want to learn more, we want to walk with you as you grow in Christ.
What We Do
Most weeks at Ignite you can expect:
- a ridiculous game
- worship time
- message from Joe
- small group times to discuss the message
Some weeks we change it up with a full night of worship in the sanctuary, a trip to Cold Stone, or Christmas caroling. We are pretty casual and sometimes a little rowdy. All in the name of fellowship and Jesus.
If you want to stay after, there’s usually some people hanging out for more worship or fellowship or games.

We Do Other Stuff Too
Service, fellowship and fun are core to Ignite. Our youth share their gifts and talents through service projects, youth fundraisers, mission trips, Sunday morning services helps and events like the annual Valentine’s Dinner, Easter Breakfast and 5th Quarter Party.

Who Runs This Show?
Ignite is led by our Youth Minister at Living Word – Joe Rock, with help from Youth Leaders:
- Cooper & Caedyn Martens
- Derek & Emma Buysse
- Jerry Matzner
- Becky Skogen
