The teenagers are accused of breaking into the South Hills Evangelical Church (SHEC) just before midnight on 12 November and causing several thousand dollars' worth of damage.
"They did smash some stuff, like computer monitors, windows, televisions and sprayed a fire extinguisher in the gym," Mr Reimer said.
Cannabis, a pipe and some pills were found on the teenagers, he said.

Church members began to collect donations for "love baskets" to present to the youths.
"We've collected several hundred dollars' worth of gift cards, Xboxes and controllers, a DVD, a VCR," said Mr Reimer.
If the teenagers escape a jail sentence, the church hopes the gifts will help keep them off the streets and out of trouble.
