Transformative community for youth in grades 6-12
Ignite Youth is going to Hanes Corn Maze on October 24th 2026, from 1 PM - 4 PM. Hanes Corn Maze is a staple of fall festivities in the GTA. The 2-acre maze has challenges and puzzles that make completing it fun and challenging. There is also a petting zoo, some fun farm activities, and a small family-run bakery before and after the maze. Be sure to tell your students to invite their friends, dress for the weather, and bring some extra cash for hot chocolate after the event.

TUESDAYS 6:3OPM
Ignite Youth is open to students in Jr. High (Grades 6-8) and Sr. High (Grades 9-12). During the school year, we meet Tuesday evenings at 6:30pm at the Renew Church offices (6745 Century Ave., Suite 3, Mississauga, ON L5N 7K2). The Renew offices are located just off the 401, and students from Milton are invited to join our car pool group. If you would like to learn more about Ignite Youth, or if you would like to register to attend, please fill in the form below.
what to expect
Every Tuesday when students arrive, they enjoy time to catch up with their friends and our Ignite leaders, and unwind by playing games and sports together. We then spend time in worship and biblical teaching based on different topics covered throughout the year by our leaders and Renew Church pastors. Afterwards, students end their evening in age-appropriate small groups with our leaders for discussion and prayer. Outside of Tuesday nights, Ignite Youth also gets together for fun outings, movie nights, sports and games, and community service projects.
PARENT RESOURCES
An epidemic of teen mental illness has suddenly arisen with the advent of the smartphone and social media. The negative effects on our youth have been devastating, including sleep deprivation, attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. Children are being destroyed and many parents feel helpless in how to respond.
In Spring 2026, Ignite Youth hosted a Parent Forum to address two essential topics in the formation of our youth: the parent-first discipleship strategy, and the impacts of smartphone and social media use. Complete video recordings, downloadable notes and resources from the Parent Forum are available below:
