Remnant is a gathering of youth—middle school and high school—of Simi Valley. Our focus is to provide an atmosphere where the youth of Simi Valley can Follow Jesus, Grow in their faith and community, Discover their purpose, and learn how to Make a difference with their lives.

Join Remnant Youth on Thursday nights @ 7:00pm. Each Thursday evening we have a time to have fun, food, games, youth-led worship, and relevant teaching about Jesus and the amazing adventure He invites each one to take part in.

Youth Directors

Jake and Deanna are so excited to serve as Youth Directors here at Newheart Church! They’ve been married since Nov of 2025 and took over the youth ministry this past July 2026 with hearts full of enthusiasm and a passion for helping students grow in their faith. Jake and Deanna believe that the teen years are a powerful season for building real, lasting relationships with God and with a community that has your back — and they can’t wait to walk alongside your students as they navigate life, faith, and everything in between. Whether it’s game nights, deep conversations, or Sunday mornings, Jake and Deanna are all in and ready to continue to make this youth group a place where every student feels seen, valued, and loved.
