Arvada Baptist Church

1 Timothy 3:12

"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."

Most teenagers believe that they have little influence in this world, because of their age. Although they may not have much authority, a teenager's example affects other people. Therefore, it is very important for Christian young men and women to cultivate godly character in their lives.

The Youth Ministry of Arvada Baptist Church strives to support Christian parents in the training of their young people. It also exists to evangelize lost young people in our community, edify Christian young people in our congregation, exalt Christ in our ministries, and equip Christian teens to serve God for the rest of their lives.

BIBLE STUDIES:

In Sunday School, we are currently studying the Epistle of James. This is practical and in-depth Bible study will encourage you toward spiritual maturity in Christ.

During our Youth Meeting, we receive a short challenge from God's Word. We also worship our Lord in prayer and in song. Please join us on Wednesdays for an encouraging time of fellowship.

ACTIVITIES:

Activities are numerous, with at least three every month. Typically, two are on the weekends and one on Sunday night. What we do for activites varies greatly depending on the seasons of the year. It could be capture the flag, outdoor expeditions, golf, BBQ's, tubing or skiing, or any number of other fun outings.

We have also been on several Missions Projects. In 2001, we took a trip to Utah to help with a Vacation Bible School. In 2002, we held Backyard Bible Clubs in some our Church family's neighborhoods. In 2004, we traveled to Belize, Central America for a week of special meetings and Vacation Bible School. In 2005, we traveled to South Dakota and assisted our missionaries on the Yankton Sioux Reservation with a V.B.S. In 2006, we traveled to Yuma, CO to help a new church plant, Faith Bible Baptist Church, with their first Vacation Bible School.

Each year brings new challenges and greater opportunities. Please join us in our service to the Lord!
