PBC desires to partner with parents to help them disciple their children, teach them God’s Word, encourage them in a relationship with Christ, and challenge them to grow in their faith.

Here is what PBC’s Youth Ministry looks like:

1. PBC Youth Night, First and Third fridays of the Month, 7:00 p.m.

PBC’s Friday Youth Night is ideal for students to grow in their faith while having fun and fellowshipping together. Be sure to park in the back parking lot and enter through the back doors located under the covered Portico. 

7:00 pm-7:30 pm: Pizza and games in the Church Basement

7:30 pm-7:50 pm: Sermon in the Green Room

7:50 pm-8:30 pm: Games in the Church Gym

More than just having fun, PBC desires to train rather than entertain. Training is teaching toward a challenge. PBC Youth trains students to meet the challenges and temptations of everyday life in the following ways:

     T: Test students by exposing them to objections to the faith and alternative viewpoints.

     R: Require students to meet the reasonable and good expectations God gives believers.

     A: Arm students with the truth so they can defend it

     I: Involve students in crafting and meeting a ministry challenge and setting it on the calendar.

     N: Nurture students as they suffer the wounds of life and then model the nature of Jesus.^[1]
