Grace Baptist's 412 Student Ministries meets Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. The name comes from 1 Timothy 4:12: "Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity" (NLT).
It's not exactly a "youth group," because of the misconception that youth groups are more social cliques for teens simply to gather for enjoyment. It's also not necessarily a "student ministry," because we view 412 not as a ministry to students alone. We prefer the term "student ministries," because it emphasizes that along with ministry to students attending, there is the expectation that ministry to others will be foundational for those involved.
Students from 6th grade through 12th are welcome to join us on this great adventure! We'll maintain the same overall ministry philosophy of guarding our commitment to the great, non-negotiable truths of the Bible, while being open to non-traditional and exciting activities that lead our students at Grace Baptist to be committed followers of Jesus Christ, who have a burning passion for God, a heart-felt concern for their peers, and a desire to provide a positive example of a Christ-follower to the world as a whole!
Join us for fun, student-led praise and worship, teaching that hits you right where you are, and opportunities to make a difference in others! |
