Check Us Out
All you need to know on Ministry and COVID (UPDATED JAN 19)
As of January 27th we will be able to gather in person as long as the below guidelines are being met. See Section C of the PHO updated on January 8th.
TAC Youth is for anyone and everyone in grades 7-12. If that's you, join us on Wednesday nights from 7-9pm! We want you to feel welcome, cared for, able to relax, and be yourself here. Our goal is to make you feel part of the family.
Due to COVID, we have had to change things up a little bit at our weekly gatherings. Here are some things to expect when you come to join us!
- You are welcome here. We want you for where you're at and wherever that is, we welcome it!
- Jesus is who we are all about.
- Jesus is all about us.
- Please stay home if you are showing any signs of illness.
- Please wear a mask as we are required to wear one at all times except for when we are eating and drinking.
- Hand sanitizer is to be used upon entering the building.
- It is mandatory that we keep a record of attendance for Plan to Protect and contact tracing
- Social distancing of 6ft will be maintained with others not in your immediate household
- Games/activities will be modified in order to maintain the above protocols
- Drop off and pick up will have a different procedure to minimize congestion at the doors. Parents will need to be ready in the parking lot to pick up their youth promptly at 9pm.
- There is going to be large-group time in our sanctuary where space allows for proper social distancing. For small group time, we will be in larger spaces to allow for social distancing as well.
- We have protocols in place for where social distancing is not possible (ie. washroom). Here, the number of people is limited and masks are to be worn.
- You will need to have a General Waiver signed by a legal guardian at the beginning of the school year. These waivers are only good for one school year. You can find the downloadable version at the bottom of this webpage.
Updates will be posted through our Instagram page @tacyouth
MEET YOUR LEADERS
We want to get to know you but let's start with you getting to know us first!
Capri Alton
Nickname(s): Pants/Capers/Miss Piggy/Carpi/Capri-Sun
Friends! I'm Capri, I'm 24, and I'm so excited to get to know you! I'm the one who oversees Youth Ministry so you'll be seeing me around a ton! I have some cool travel stories from my latest adventure, YWAM, which I truly believe helped equip me for leading this ministry. I'm eager to see people know and experience the love of Jesus which is unlike any love that's available. Come check Youth out to see why we think it's such a big deal!
Isaac Foord
Hi, my name is Isaac Foord. I am 25 years old and I work in the sale of development land and investment properties in the Lower Mainland. I am drawn to volunteering with the TAC Youth program so that I can be a positive Christian influence in someone's life that I didn't have when I was a youth. I believe this ministry could have saved me a lot of mistakes in my childhood, and I hope to do the same for someone else.
Sarah Bowker
Hi! My name is Sarah Bowker, I'm 24 years old and I'm hoping to start my first year of university this September. I have 7 siblings and they are all around the world! I'm married and have a 5 years old daughter. I'm originally from Iraq and I came all the way from Jordan 2 years ago. I absolutely love living in Canada! I feel that Jesus wants to use me and my testimony to help others know him and his love, and of course for me to grow more in him!
Aaron Parker
Hey Guys! My name is Aaron Parker, I am 24 years old currently working out in Vancouver as an electrician. When I was in youth my leaders had such a positive and impactful meaning in my life and now I want to give that back to kids in our community. A fun fact about me is that I used to play football at Simon Fraser University.
Czarina Foord
My name is Czarina. I’m 26 and I’m a Land Surveyor. I love surfing, although I’m not the best at it. I look forward to getting to know everyone and growing my relationship with Jesus with you guys!
Jared McMillan
Nickname: Jimmy
Hey guys, my name is Jared McMillan, I am 24 and work here in delta as a firefighter. I love sports, exploring the outdoors and drumming. One fun fact about me is I’ve been skydiving... and I would hands down do it again!
Kurtis Thompson
Hey everyone, my name is Kurtis Thompson, I was born and raised in Vancouver BC and currently I work as a Paramedic with BCEHS. I have been a youth Leader at TAC for about five years and I am extremely excited to hang out with each and every one of you this year. Jesus is the center, and the answer of all of life’s big questions, and It is my hope that through this time together each one of us would come to know the Lord Jesus Christ in a new, and personal way. See you all soon!
Natalie Connors
Hi friends! My name’s Natalie. I’m originally from Calgary, but now live in Tsawwassen with my husband, Bryce. I am currently completing my Master’s of Education in School and Applied Child Psychology at UBC, and also working part-time as a Nanny for two fun boys! I have a passion to see youth come to know and love Jesus - and truthfully, wish I had had something like TAC youth when I was growing up - so that’s why I’m here. Hope to see you soon!
Lyle Babcock
Nickname: Uncle Buck
I’m 76 years old. I was born in Cadillac. Not the car, the town in Saskatchewan. A lot of things have changed in my world, like the use of plastic, aluminum, and electricity. Some things have not changed; like the desire to know answers to the big questions. Why am I here? Where am I going? The best answer to these questions can be found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. My desire is to see students learn about and know Jesus, who loves them, and I want to help be a part of that.
Mackenzie Connors
Nickname: Jimmy
Hey Guys! My name is Mackenzie Connors, I am 24 years old currently working out in Whiterock as a registered nurse in the emergency department. I felt called a long time ago to support and hang out with TACs Youth Ministry. I was both supported and mentored “thoroughly” when I was in Youth and would love to do extend that to others. One fun fact about me, I know how to sail and have done it months at a time.
