Parents

We believe that parents play an essential role in the lives of their youth and more specifically in the area of spiritual growth. We want to partner with you in helping our youth become committed disciples of Jesus Christ. We have a quarterly parent’s meeting to support each other and to share some pertinent information.

We provide email updates and have a calendar of events to keep you up to date.

We are on facebook! Come join our group by searching for “YPBC Youth Group”

"We want our youth to be joyful, committed followers of Jesus Christ,

who are:

W O R S H I P!

Purpose: to glorify God and to enjoy Him foreverWhat: Doxa Where: Cameron HallWhen: 11am Every Sunday except 1st Sunday

We believe that worshipping God is critical in the formation of faith and therefore believe that youth need to worship God in their own way. Doxa has been a great way for our youth to hear the word of God and to participate in worshipping God.

D I S C I P L E S H I P!

Purpose: to help students become mature followers of Jesus Christ through Holy Habits & relevant teaching.

We are using a curriculum called “The Story” this year as a way to help our youth develop their Holy Habits. The Story is a chronological reading of the Bible and we are encouraging our youth to read a chapter a week of this book throughout the year. We are also encouraging parents to follow along with the reading so that it can engender “God discussions” at home.

Worship Team is a great way to use your musical gi!s

Sunday School Teacher or Helper

F E L L O W S H I P!

Purpose: to have fun with one another and to provide an atmosphere where we can build a sense of community. It is a great event where youth can bring their friends. Please note that these events are subject to change. You can find the most up to date information on our website.
