Youth
 How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your word.
With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.
Blessed are You, O LORD!
Teach me Your statutes.
With my lips I have declared
All the judgments of Your mouth.
I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
As much as in all riches.
I will meditate on Your precepts,
And contemplate Your ways.
I will delight myself in Your statutes;
I will not forget Your word.
(Psalm 119:9-16)
Based on the number of Youth available, on Sunday mornings from 9:30 to 10:30, we meet
in the "upper room" above the Fellowship Hall to worship the Lord
through song and Scripture study. The focus of our curriculum
and activities center around knowing and applying Biblical truths
and cultivating a God-centered worldview.
Youth Mission Statement
Our goal at Grace Bible Church is to assist parents in developing
students who are independently dependent on Christ. We seek to
come alongside parents to help them with the awesome responsibility
of raising godly students. We recognize the years from about 12
to 25 to be some of the most formative years in a person's life.
Therefore, the Student Ministries of Grace are strategic in our
efforts to take advantage of this opportunity. We believe that
laying a foundation of biblical truth—with accountability
for living it—will best prepare them for a life lived to
serve the Lord.
