Youth Groups & Events
Jr Action (7-10)
"Train a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not stray from it." So says the Bible (Proverbs 22:6) and at Northridge we agree. Jr. Action is our education program for 7-10 year olds that teaches the foundations of faith in a way they can understand and own. Leading up to official Junior Membership in the church, the Jr. Action program gives kids the knowledge they need to begin to lead the lives God wants for them.
Youth Arts
Northridge loves the arts! Instrumental music, vocal, drama, dance, all are nurtured and enjoyed regularly in our worship. We are blessed with many talented leaders who give their time regularly to facilitate our youth arts programming providing great opportunities for our youth to be involved. Proven to be a boost to development and known for the joy they bring, the arts are an integral part of Northridge culture and our youth are an integral part of our artistic expression.
Northridge Scout Group (8-17)
The Northridge Salvation Army Scout Group is a church based, community youth & family outreach program based upon three principles of duty to God, duty to others, and duty to self. It’s a program of personal development, leadership training, basic Christian education and service through the planning of relevant activities in an environment of fun learning. Our objective lies in the development of character and good citizenship in young people through the promotion of their spiritual, mental, social and physical development. Its goal is to provide training and opportunities for youth and adults to give service to others. We work by mutual agreement and in close co-operation with the National Council of Scouts Canada, however are governed and accountable to The Salvation Army as a part of the overall ministry of The Northridge Community Church.
While only a small group, this program is second to none in its ability to provide an exciting learning adventure to youth in Scouting. Regular camping adventures, sleepovers, themed program, special guests, crafts, badges & awards comprise this weekly Wednesday night program meeting from 6:30-8:30 PM. Extended trips include high ropes adventures in Horseshoe Valley, 8 day overnight excursions into the Haliburton Highlands each year, a recent 2 week dream adventure to Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton and much more.

Chat Rooms (Jr & Sr High)
For those youth who are in Jr. High and Sr. High, the issues and questions regarding faith and how to live a life pleasing to God begin to come fast and furious. By establishing age appropriate discussion/education groups Northridge endeavours to provide the information and environment necessary for youth to grapple with the changes and challenges confronting them. Biblical principles applied to real life situations and concepts are discussed and digested by the youth who can then begin to form the worldview of God’s people in the world. Social justice, relationships, media influence and the gamut of today’s youth questions are explored.
