Top 73 Creative, Cool, & Inspirational Youth Group Names

Youth group having a discussion outdoors

With more distractions than ever and busier schedules (especially for teens), youth ministry can play a crucial role in inspiring stronger faith in children and teens. It also engages parents to build stronger and more devoted families. [1]

Youth ministries today typically include around 60 teens and 12 adult leaders.[2] You might want to choose one name to represent the entire group or break the ministry into smaller, individualized groups under each leader.

Either way, youth group names are meant to “fire up” the group’s members in their faith and create a vibe that will encourage others to join in the fun.

These names can be inspirational, powerful, or just plain catchy.

We have more than 70 ready-to-use youth group names below — plus, if you want to create your own youth group name, we provide tips after the list.

How to Create a Fun Youth Group Name

Youth group is meant to be a fun and casual way for young people to connect with like-minded peers and engage with their faith.

Create a cool youth group name all your own using the following tips:

  • Decide on an image. Your group name will create a mental image for those in your group and others around the group, such as potential new members. Be sure the name you choose accurately reflects the group’s tone, purpose, and welcoming nature.
  • Choose motivational words and phrases. Youth groups are all about having fun while growing in faith, teaching others about faith, and keeping motivated. Choose positive words and phrases that will leave your group members feeling inspired.
  • Have a naming contest. Youth group members may want to be involved with the creation of the group’s name. Having a brainstorming session with the entire group will allow everyone to suggest options that are meaningful to them. It’ll also allow the group leader some insight into the group members and how to best lead and motivate the group. Put the final choices to a group vote for fairness and to find a name that perfectly reflects the group.
