SWITCH is the youth ministry at Lake Ridge for students in grades 7 – 12.

Not just a youth group.

A movement. A mission.

A future in motion.

We think teenagers are incredible—like, actually. You’re asking big questions, seeking real connection, and figuring out who you are in a world that doesn’t always make it easy. We see you. We’re with you. And we believe God is already moving in your life in ways that matter.

Welcome to SWITCH

This isn’t about pretending or performing. SWITCH is a space where you can belong before you believe—and grow into everything God has for you. Whether you’re exploring faith, building friendships, or just need a place to breathe, this is your spot to be known, be loved, and become who God made you to be.

Our Purpose

  • Lead students to become fully devoted followers of Christ.

  • Build a community of students, leaders, and families who are passionate about loving God, loving others, and making a difference in the world

  • Be a place where Chestermere’s junior and senior high students are welcomed to show up, connect, and live out a faith that’s real, relevant, and rooted in love.

The Space Between (Thursdays, 7-9pm during the school year)

It’s not school. It’s not church. It’s The Space Between.

Every Thursday night, we flip the switch on ordinary. You’ll walk into a place buzzing with energy—games, music, snacks, and people who actually care. Then we split into junior and senior high groups for real conversations that go deep.

You’ll hear truth about who God is, who you are, and how following Jesus can change everything. Adult mentors are there to guide the convo—no pressure, just honest talk about life and faith.

Come curious. Come open. Come as you are. Leave changed.

Monthly Meetups

Once per month we throw a social event that’s all about fun, friendship, and unforgettable moments. The details change—but the vibe stays the same: connection, laughter, and memories that matter.

Want to Get Connected?

We’d love to meet you.

 We Love Teenagers

Seriously. You’re not just the future—you’re the now.
