welcome to voyagers junior high.
Junior High is an exciting and important chapter in your student’s life. The clock is ticking, and we have a limited time to make a lasting impact.
Our goal is to build a strong foundation for your student’s faith as they grow into Christian adulthood. We want to equip them with a Christ-centered perspective for navigating the world, all within an environment that is welcoming, loving, and safe.
We are committed to surrounding your student with trained adult leaders who will serve as mentors, role models, and friends. Through weekly gatherings, camps, and special events, we aim to glorify God in everything we do, whether it’s worshiping, praying, or simply having fun together.
Parents, we invite you to join us on this journey. Let’s partner together to shape your student’s faith and future. The time may be short, but the impact will last a lifetime.
Pastor Aaron Cardinio.
My wife, Casey, and I met in 2012, while serving together at Grace Fellowship Church in Costa Mesa. After four years of dating, we married in 2017. Casey, who grew up dreaming of teaching, is now a second-grade teacher at Deerfield Elementary. We have a wiener dog named Trooper!
I’m living my dream of working with Junior High students, inspired by the incredible impact my Junior High pastor had on me. Before Voyagers Bible Church, I served in Junior High ministry through YoungLife. Every day, I’m grateful for the privilege of walking alongside Junior High students.
meet our leaders.
Our committed leaders walk alongside students, celebrating victories, offering support, and pointing them toward Jesus. They build genuine, long-lasting relationships that go beyond weekly gatherings.
As parents, you can trust that your student is cared for by adults who prioritize their safety, well-being, and spiritual growth. Together, we can make a lasting impact in their lives.

Dance Like This
Podcast
Dance Like This, a parenting podcast, explores the joys and difficulties of raising kids in our current culture. We bring you experts to tackle the tough questions surrounding parenting today's youth and hope to leave you with tools for the journey. We hope listeners draw encouragement each month as we learn how to invite students into an even more beautiful dance, one full of grace and truth.
Reading Wall
Resource
In the Junior High room, we have carefully curated a reading wall featuring books that I have personally read, enjoyed, and believe would be wonderfully beneficial to you. As an added incentive, if you borrow a book, read it, and return it, your student will receive a significant discount for camps. We hope this encourages you to explore these valuable resources.
