WHAT is HAPPENING AT ELIM.YTH?
There’s always something happening at Elim YTH! Our nights are built around LifeGroups, creating space for students to build friendships, ask real questions, grow in their faith, and have a whole lot of fun.
You’ll find 3 types of YTH Nights:
Seek Nights — Real questions. Honest conversations.
Encounter Nights — Time to worship, encounter God, and grow closer to Him together.
Connect Nights — Games, activities, laughter, and lots of time to build friendships.
Plus, keep an eye out for retreats, special events, and plenty of other fun throughout the year.
Meet OUR STAFF
CURTIS JUNGHANS
Pastor Curtis is a professional youth pastor, part-time comedian, and full-time dad-joke enthusiast. He loves Jesus, people, and probably owns more hoodies than any grown adult should.
When he’s not hanging out with students, you can find him drinking coffee, cheering way too loudly at something, or pretending he’s still young enough to keep up with the YTH games.
Fun fact: He’s convinced he could win almost any youth group game… and the students are determined to prove him wrong.
His mission? Help students know they’re loved, help them grow in their faith, and make sure nobody leaves YTH without having a good time.
KELSI ANDREWS
Kelsi is one of the friendly faces you’ll see around Elim YTH. She loves hanging out with students, making people feel welcome, and helping create nights that are actually worth showing up for.
She’s all about good conversations, lots of laughs, and helping students know they have a place where they can belong and be themselves.
Fun fact: Kelsi is always down for an adventure, a good conversation, or a perfectly timed photo for the Instagram.
Her goal? Help make Elim YTH a place where you can have fun, find your people, and grow in your relationship with Jesus.
