SLBC Youth Ministries has something taking place for teenagers throughout the week. Everything from music ministry, to mid-week youth group, to AWANA on Thursday night. Bible is key to our youth program as we desire to make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20). You will discover a place where your teens will be challenged and loved. Come and get connected.
Sunday Morning Sunday School - Beginning at 9:45 am, our Junior High and Senior High students meet downstairs in our Fellowship Hall to do an in-depth study of God's Word and practical life application of that Word. We live in a very conflicting society that calls evil, good and good is now called evil. Our goal is to direct our young people into looking to God's Word for the answers to these and other life issues. Seeing young people grow in their faith is an utmost priority!
Wednesday Evening Youth Ministry - There is a youth ministry being held every Wednesday evening for our Junior High and Senior High students. During the school year, we meet at the church in the downstairs fellowship hall beginning at 6:30 pm until 8:30 pm. During the school year, each Wednesday evening, we have "Food Night" in which we are blessed with an outstanding meal. Food is served at 6:30 pm. During the summer months, we meet at the church but outside around the campfire. Times are 6:30 until 8:30 pm. Youth ministry is made up of game time, worship, and discipleship training. Our goal is to make disciples, and to see young people who desire to follow Jesus.
Family Camp Student Overnighter - Summer is a great time for heading to Mirror Lake near Sagel, ID, and do some swimming, games, and BBQ. This is a free event so bring clothes you can swim and get wet in, a towel, and snacks, and be prepared to have lots of fun. Permission slips are required. See you in 2023!
Summer Bash - Every June we honor our graduating students by hosting "Summer Bash". This FREE event is held at Timberlake Senior High School football field beginning at 6:00 pm on June 15th. Our incoming 7th graders and outgoing 12th graders are honored this evening but we welcome ALL local teens to come and enjoy. At NO COST to our students, we offer a BBQ dinner, specialty drinks, photo booth, GaGA ball, laser tag, bubble ball, prize drawings all night, a grand prize (this year is a kayak), amazing speakers, and amazing music. A Permission Slip is required to participate in the events. Permission Slips are available online or by coming by the church office to pick one up. NO EXCEPTIONS. Please do not ask.
