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!
Youth Lessons
Starting this Winter our students will look at the Ten Commandments. Are the commandments still relevant in the Christian life? What are the three types of Law? Students will learn about the Ten Commandments, the relevance, their purpose, and how they still apply to the Christian life today!
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!
