Weekly Events
Sunday Morning Youth BFGs
On Sunday mornings our students come together in Bible Fellowship Groups (BFGs) for time of teaching, discussion, and discipleship. Students come together for one large group teaching time and then are split up in age and gender-based groups for discussion and discipleship. The lesson material mirrors the material being presented in many of our adult BFGs. Youth BFGs are offered during both morning worship services. Students are encouraged to sit in the worship service with their family and then participate in Youth BFGs the same service hour their parents go to adult BFGs.
Wednesday Night Youth Discipleship
On Wednesdays at 6:30, this is the time in our ministry that we focus on discipleship with students where students have specific adult leaders to act as spiritual mentor for them. There will be time for games and activities for the students, followed by a large group teaching where we will have series both focused on books of the Bible and topics that our students may have questions about that are not addressed directly on a Sunday morning. Following the teaching, students break up into discipleship groups to talk about the lesson and also address the various issues that students face week to week.
This spring we will be going through series including “Why Have Youth Ministry,” a study about discipleship and church membership as a teenager, and a study through the book of Colossians.
Students do not need to register for Wednesday Night Youth Discipleship
Upcoming Events
April 24 Camp Info Meeting
After church on April 24, we will have a brief info meeting for parents and students attending camp. This will be a time for me to go over the rules, expectations, and details for camp. There will be some forms that parents will need to fill out as well. This is also a time for me to field questions from any of you about camp itself, or how to pay the rest of your balance. I do ask that there be at least one parent present at this meeting, even if you have sent your student to camp in the past. Let me know of any conflicts that prohibit you attending so I can connect with you another time. We will be meeting in the Fellowship Hall.
Honoring our Graduates Lunch
If you have a student graduating from high school this year, we invite you and your family to join us as we honor our graduates. On Sunday May 15, we will honor the seniors briefly in the service, and following the service we will provide lunch and a small ceremony to celebrate our graduates. Please register your family using this link.
Registration will close on May 8. Please send a picture of your graduate to Pastor Adam at acole@naobc.org to be used in the worship service by May 8 as well.
