Intentional Caring Relationships

Student Ministry — Middle School & High School

Intentional Caring Relationships.

The Bible says that life is to be experienced in relationship with Jesus Christ and one another. As a result, our vision is to have every Middle School and High School student who attends Friendship Baptist Church, intentionally connected to one another on a weekly basis through biblical-caring communities that promote transformation, caring relationships, prayer & a missionary-mindset that compels them to serve and see others introduced to Jesus.

By doing so, we will desire to intentionally engage one another and the community that surrounds us.  We will seek to share with others the joy, fulfillment, hope and forgiveness that is available through Jesus Christ. We will seek ways to intentionally invite our friends and classmates to Sunday Worship Live, GrowGroups Live, Wednesday Night Live and Friday Night Live so that they may know Jesus and grow to love Him more.

Let’s meet God where He is working and be transformed! And be ready to tell others!

  • Sunday Morning At 11:00

    Student Worship Live provides an opportunity for students to come into the presence of God in the context of the church, and use their God-given talents and gifts, for the glory of God and the good of others. The service is student-led, with the exception of the preaching, which is done by our Student Minister. Each week our students lead in music, share testimonies about what God is doing in their lives, read Scripture, and operate the sound booth. In doing all of this, they get to understand that worship of God is not limited to just singing a few songs on Sunday morning but it is a way of life for the believer in Christ. And what we do on Sundays, is only one aspect of our worship.

  • Sunday Morning 9:45 to 10:45

    We gather for Christ-centered Bible study, as we seek to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. The Gospel Project is a weekly Bible study that helps teens dive deep into the big story of the Bible—God’s plan to rescue His people through His Son, Jesus Christ.
    Focus on Jesus. Every session shows how all Scripture leads us to Jesus.
    Connect the dots. 3-Year chronological study explores the uniting gospel story and essential truths of Scripture.
    Live the story. Show teens that it is Jesus who transforms them, not good behavior.
    Ask big questions. Encourage teens to ask tough questions about what Christians believe and expect real answers.

  • Wednesday Night 6:45 to 8:00

    Students engage in age-appropriate Bible study each week, creating an environment of learning and Biblical application. Students are gathered to encourage one another, share insights, and invite healthy discussion.

    Currently, we are going through a video series called Darkroom Faith. Darkroom Faith is a series made for youth that addresses big questions and topics that students have such as: love, purpose, and doubts about the Christian faith.

  • Friday Night 7:00 to 9:00

    Friday Night Live is a time for students to connect with friends and God, in a safe and fun environment. The evening begins with a meal, followed by games, and a closing lesson from God’s Word. On the First Friday of each month, we normally have a special event or speaker. Other activities include our birthday celebration once a month for those celebrating birthdays during that month and our Family Service Fridays, where families get together to complete service projects.
