Youth
Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV)
The mission of Jefferson Park Baptist Church Youth Ministry is to supplement, without replacing, the proper Christian training by parents in the home. Christian education begins in and will ultimately succeed when directed from the home.
We regularly meet on Sundays from 4:00-6:00 pm in the downstairs fellowship hall. Our meetings include time for fellowship, a topical lesson, and a light dinner. We also schedule monthly Y.O.T.T. (Youth on the Town) events such as bowling, miniature golf, ice skating, and horseback riding.
Topical lessons have included:
- The Case for the Creator by Lee Strobel
- The Book of James
- Witnessing
- Friends
- True friends are committed to each other.
- Accountability to Christian friends will help you grow in your faith.
- This is one of the best arguments for youth groups. Friends helping friends grow in Christ.
- Pruning
- Christian Citizenship
- Submission to authority is obedience to God’s Word
- Church Membership
- What is the Church?
- Universal
- Local
We will be studying The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel starting January 28th.
