We acknowledge that we cannot produce the same effect in teenagers as their Christian
parents. Therefore, we strive to equip and encourage parents to fulfill their God-given
responsibility of training and teaching their children in the ways of the LORD at home
(see Deut. 6:4-9).
We also see the value of providing an atmosphere of Christian community among young people and their peers. Students need to have a place to grow in their relationship with Christ, especially those who don’t have Christian parents to look to for leadership.
The Student Ministry is not a separate entity within the church, so we have the same mission and vision as MBBC. We accomplish these goals by taking teenagers to the truth of God’s Word to teach the centrality of Christ in all things and his commands for our lives.
Sunday Bible Fellowship (SBF):
The student ministry provides small group opportunities at 9:30 am. These groups are designed to grow fellowship centered around the Word of God. These small groups are both age graded and gender specific. Our SBF leaders are trained adults, who have a passion for seeing our teenagers grow in their relationship with Christ.
On Sunday, August 19, we will resume with Overflow at 6 pm. Over the summer, come hang out with us at our home Bible study, Students on Southridge, on Monday nights at 7:07 pm.
Midweek
All students are invited to our church-wide Midweek Gathering. This is an important time for the students to participate in the life of our church as we worship, sing, pray, fellowship and sit under the teaching of the Scriptures together.
Throughout the year, we balance our calendar with outreach events, mission trips, gender specific events, offsite retreats, and special events that are designed for just plain fun.
