Junior High Ministry

(JHM) exists to help junior highers take a next step in their relationship with Jesus. Our goal is that every junior higher in Chicagoland feels connected to a community that lives out Jesus’ unconditional love. Our large group services give students the opportunity to engage in worship, small groups, teaching and of course, lots of fun. We also have camps and events throughout the year that you won’t want to miss!

If you’re looking for a way to stay connected, be the first to know about camp registrations, be in the know about our current series and know about any events happening in JHM then you should sign up for our newsletter below!

We are getting ready for an unforgettable summer experience! From Thursday, June 12, to Sunday, June 15, your junior high student is invited to an action-packed weekend at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, IL  for JHM Summer Camp—a place where fun, friendships, and faith collide!

Junior Highers will be invited to play epic games,  go on some thrilling inflatables, some light-hearted competition, dedicated time to be with other students from their grade, rock wall climbing and more all while forming deeper connections in small groups and encountering life-changing messages about Jesus. With amazing food, non stop laughter, and powerful worship, this is more than just a camp—it’s a transformational experience they won’t want to miss!
