Teen Ministries

At First Baptist Church, we know the importance of imparting the principles and doctrines of God's Word to the younger generation. Not only do we want to supply solid Biblical principles and truths to our young people, but we also want to teach them how to make application in their own lives. First Baptist has several programs set up to accomplish this goal.

 

Our Programs:

Wednesday Nights

Our junior and senior high practicipate in AWANA. This intensive program  immerses teens in God's Word through reading and memorizaiton. Each Wednesday, the teens report to their group leaders to recite verses they've memorized and lessons they've completed the previous week. Prizes and activites can be earned by participating in and completing the program. Book time is followed each night by games in the gym and a Bible challenge.  

Sunday School

In Sunday School the teens are taught Bible lessons in a classroom setting. The principles they learn here provide a solid foundation to help them live a godly life in a sinful world. Our goal for the teenagers is to not merely grow in Bible head knowledge, but more importantly in their relationship with the Lord.

Social Activities

First Baptist has organized activites for the teens on a regular basis. These activites include open gym nights, lock-ins, shopping trips, sports activities, amusement park trips, and more. Through these get-togethers the young people are able to form lasting relationships with other Christians and reach out to their unsaved friends.

Ministry Opportunities

First Baptist frequently takes adults and youth on mission trips to aid a missionary in a project and to evangelize the surrounding area. Most recently the church sent a group to Equador in January, 2009. The team helped with construction on a church, but more importantly, hundreds of local people made professions of faith as a result of their evangelism.

Summer Camp and Youth Conferences

Every year we take a group of our kids to The Wilds for a time of spiritual renewal. We also hold an annual youth rally, as well as attend the LIT (Leaders in Training) Conference at Anchor Baptist Church in Millersville, MD.
