WHAT IS YOUTH GROUP?
Below is a description of what we want our students to experience through youth group. We typically meet every Wednesday from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at our church building, but during the summer we change up our routine a little more – so if you’d like to join us or learn more about Youth Group please contact Pastor Jon (jheisterkamp@fbcpburg.org).
Our youth ministry is for students from 7th grade to 12th grade. We desire to glorify God by showing students how to have a personal, loving relationship with Jesus, so that they will carry Jesus to their worlds. How do we do that?
- Building relationships with students
- Students need to know that someone loves and cares about them. We want to provide environments that are conducive to students building relationships with each other, and our youth leaders.
- Consistently teaching students biblical truth
- The Bible is the inspired Word of God and it shows us who our God is, and how to live lives that please him. We believe that it is relevant, and has the power to change the hearts and lives of individuals.
- Having spiritual examples for students to follow
- It is not enough simply to hear about truth, and talk about how it is relevant. it is important that students be able to see followers of Jesus at all ages living out the truth that they are learning. They are in desperate need to observe faith in action.
