Where do I go?
At First Baptist we seek to use all of our facilities for the glory of God and the good of His people.

Middle School Youth Group Lessons
Our Middle School Students are working their way through Truth 78's "Your Word is Life" curriculum.
Our leaders ensure that the lessons are meeting students where they are. As students go through the Bible they will see how it all points to Christ, and they will be challenged to grow deeper in the understanding and love for Jesus.
High School Youth Lessons
Our High School students will be looking at common questions asked about Christianity and the Bible. Students will explore answers from Scripture and address the many lies culture proclaims. High School students will learn to interact with progressive beliefs and evaluate them based on Scripture.
As with all our series, we aim to apply Biblical truth to the lives of teenagers and continuously point students to Jesus Christ and help them develop a Christian worldview!

This is a Ligonier Ministries conference that focuses on equipping youth to defend the faith.
“Teenagers hear mixed messages about who they are, what’s true, and where to find meaning in life. Always Ready is a youth conference that prepares students to respond to these ideas with the truth of God, equipping them to be a light for Christ among their friends. As Christians ages 12–18 gather to hear biblical teaching, our speakers will provide an overview of key issues in apologetics to help students defend their faith in Jesus.”
Lunch is included with registration cost. Students are to bring money for books and for dinner on the way back.
Meet Pastor Zach
I am Pastor Zach, the Associate Pastor here at First Baptist. It is a joy and privilege to be able to serve First Baptist in the area of youth ministry. It is my mission to see youth come to know Christ and build their lives on the firm foundation that is His word!
We pray the youth ministry of First Baptist has students who love the Lord, desire to learn more about Him, and are passionate about telling others the hope that is found in Christ alone!
