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. Sunday School, 9:30 a.m.-10:15 A.M.

This is a seasonal ministry in which we meet on Sunday mornings to study God’s Word and apply it to our lives.

2. PBC Youth Night, First friday 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.

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]
