Welcome to our new "IGNITE" Youth Ministries page. My name is Mark Quiroz and it is my privilege to be the Youth Pastor at New Life Assembly of God. We meet every Wednesday evening from 7 to 8:15PM. We have a lot of great things going on in the youth group and we would love for you to be a part of what God is doing here at New Life.
Mission Statement

Vision Statement
Ignite Youth ministries is a group of young people striving to give God our best and in the process inspiring others to do the same, with an exciting youth service that attracts young people, effective discipleship, and well planned outreaches into the community.
