More than 100 people have turned out for a candlelight vigil for missing Queensland schoolgirl Jayde Kendall.

The vigil began at 7:30pm at the Peace Lutheran church in Gatton, west of Brisbane, to show support for her family, 12 days after her disappearance.

Pastor John Haigh led the vigil, saying it was "a terrible reason to gather together".

"This is a good area no matter what has happened," he said.

"Most of us here tonight don't know what to do - there's nothing we can do.

"We're supporting [Jayde's family] by coming here tonight.

"This is a point of hope and support."

A work colleague of Jayde's from the local McDonald's said she was "lovely".

"She's so great - we pray that she's safe," the colleague said.

A fellow high school student of Jayde's said she was "a beautiful person".

"To know she's gone missing is just unbearable," the student said.

"She doesn't deserve any of this - she shouldn't have gone missing."

Another local woman at the vigil expressed her sadness over Jayde's disappearance.

"This has broken my heart - let there be a miracle somewhere," she said.

Her bank account was accessed twice that evening, but the teen had not contacted her family since.

Her disappearance is being treated as a missing person case, however her family say it is out of character.

The candlelight vigil began at 7:30pm at the Lutheran church in Gatton.

Pastor John Haigh earlier today said it was a chance for the Lockyer Valley community to provide support for Jayde's family.

"These things are so painful," he said.

"Jayde's missing and there's just a great emptiness.

"We feel for the family, we care about this community it's a great area to live and we just want to support each other and the family in this way."

Police are trying to corroborate the story of the 18-year-old male Jayde was last seen with.

They knew each other through McDonald's, where Jayde worked.

Anyone who saw a red Corolla hatchback in Gatton on August 14 between 3:00pm and 6:00pm is asked to contact police.
