PHILOSOPHY AND FUNCTIONS OF YOUTH MINISTRY AT FELLOWSHIP BAPTIST
v The goals of the youth ministry at Fellowship Baptist are:
o Develop a passion for God - “Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O Lord, We have waited for You eagerly; Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls.” Isaiah 26:8. Our goal is that youth have a hunger for God’s word, dedicated to prayer, have a passion for worship, who believe the Bible as absolute truth and Jesus Christ is the only way to God.
o Grow positive Relationships - Our goal is for youth to respect those over them (adults), love those around them (peers) and a witness to those who don’t know Christ.
o Become dynamic Leaders - we want our youth to be leaders at home, in their schools, where they work - wherever they are. We also want your youth to serve and to be salt and light, so others would notice Jesus Christ in their lives.
v Listed below are the functions of the FBC youth ministry.
o Sunday school - Jim presents a lesson to our youth in a large group setting.
o Wednesday night youth group - The meeting begins at 7:00 and ends between 8:15- 8:30. The meeting consists of a gathering time, worship with our youth praise band and small group time. Small groups are age and gender divided; jr hi guys, jr hi girls, sr hi guys and sr hi girls. Junior high groups have an adult leader while high school groups are student led with an adult helper. The groups will be given a “RAP” sheet where they discuss a Bible passage and discover how to apply it to their life.
o Sunday afternoon Deeper - Sunday afternoon is another opportunity for the youth to grow deeper in their walk with Christ by reading different Christian books.
o Youth prayer meeting – Every Wednesday from 6-7 PM youth can gather in Jim’s office to spend time praying for the youth and the youth ministry of Fellowship.
o Ministry opportunities: Local missions – we try to do a service project once a month.
