Meet Your Youth Pastor

I'm Isaiah Mutabaruka, and it's my honour to serve as the Youth Pastor here at Fountain Church. Leading CXNNECTED, our youth ministry for ages 12-18, is more than just a role for me—it's a calling that I'm passionate about.

My heart is to see young people encounter Jesus in a real and life-changing way. I believe this generation has incredible potential, and I'm committed to creating spaces where they can explore their faith, ask hard questions, build authentic friendships, and discover who God has called them to be.

Growing up in the church, I've seen firsthand how a strong community and spiritual foundation can shape a young person's life. That's why at CXNNECTED, we focus on discipleship, worship, and equipping our young people to lead—not just in the future, but right now.

When I'm not with the youth, you'll probably find me at the gym or BJJ, recording content, or spending time with family. I love connecting with people and believe that ministry happens just as much in everyday moments as it does on Sunday mornings.

If you're a young person looking for a place to belong, or a parent wanting to see your teenager grow in their faith, I'd love to connect with you. Let's journey together!
