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. It is a blessing to have The Willis Recreation Center to take advantage of during youth group nights. The Willis Recreation Center has a full gym, kitchen, a game room, and a loft that is divided into middle school and high school teaching areas. Come in and join us on a Wednesday night!
Middle School Youth Group Lessons
Our Middle School Students are working their way through Truth 78's "Fight the Good Fight" 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
Starting this Fall our students will look at the various questions Jesus asks throughout the gospels. Students will learn what it means to follow Christ by digging into the questions He asks His disciples, and those he interacts with.
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!
