Welcome to the Student Ministry Blog of West Franklin Baptist Church!
As youth pastor, I have set five goals for our outreach to students:
First, we want to HELP the youth. We want to meet their practical needs by getting them resources for school and life.
Second, we want to TEACH the Bible. We are currently studying through 2 Timothy, and my desire is for the students to learn how to study the Bible and become Bible teachers themselves.
Third, we want to TRAIN the leaders. We want to formulate a student leadership team as quickly as possible so that the students are able to raise money for their ministry budget and plan mission trips each month in our city.
Fourth, we want to PRACTICE the spiritual disciplines. We have to keep our focus on Jesus Christ and learn how to prioritize prayer, Bible study, worship, and other spiritual activities that keep us connected to the King daily for the rest of our lives!
Fifth, we want to GO on mission. We want to be more than a group of people that meet twice a week in a church building. We want to reach out to people in our city and connect with people from other cultures and faith backgrounds in order to learn about them so that we can share Jesus with them.
A further goal of this blog is to allow students connected with our ministry to practice writing daily devotional thoughts based in Scripture as well as to update our ministry partners on events and mission trips with stories, pictures, and links to YouTube videos.
God bless you for caring about us, providing for us, and praying for us as we learn how to obey God's will, trust in God's plan, and follow God's call.
