The relationship your student develops with the Lord during their teen years will shape the way they follow Him for the rest of their lives. Our aim is to create a community of students that is centered on The Word of God, Discipleship, and the abundant life that is found in knowing Christ.
TUESDAY
NIGHTS
6:30-8:30PM
In the SMC
At our Junior High gathering, students will engage in four things: Recreation, Worship through music, Bible teaching, and community with other students in Connect Groups.
Grab your Bible, notebook, and a pen and join us Tuesday nights as we grow closer to one another, and to our God!
SUNDAY
MORNINGS
10:00AM
Our goal for Sunday AM Junior High service is to provide a space where students can learn more about what it means to follow Jesus by worshipping through song and verse-by-verse teaching.
The experience will look and feel similar to our main adult gathering so that when they attend the main gathering, it feels familiar to them. Grab your Bible, notebook, pen and a friend as we learn together what it means to follow Jesus!

What’s up! My name is Branden Moroney and I am blessed to be a part of this NewCov Youth Team! I have the most amazing, beautiful Fiancé Emily, that I am so excited to marry! In my free time I love to golf and hangout at coffee shops! I just graduated from Grand Canyon University with a Biblical Studies – Youth Ministry degree. I have a growing passion for youth because that is where the Lord found me and I want to invest in the present and future generation of the church.
Taylor Phillips
Youth Worship Director
Get to know Taylor
Hey NewCov Family! I’ve been on staff at NewCov since July of 2022 and have worked in ministry since 2019. My favorite part of working in the Creative Department is helping show others that worship is often more than just singing. I currently attend The Masters University with a major in Christian Ministries and will graduate in 2023. When I’m not at NewCov, you’ll usually find me on a pool deck coaching water polo or playing an instrument!
