Highland Baptist Youth Ministry!

The goal of Highland Baptist Youth Ministry is to provide a safe and accepting community of faith that shares the good news of Jesus Christ's revolutionary love with middle and high school youth!  In order to do this, we provide opportunities for youth to engage in relevant study of scripture, to nurture their spiritual lives, to build strong authentic relationships, and to impact the world through serving others.

HBC Youth Ministry recruits, trains, and supports passionate youth leaders to walk alongside youth on their journey of faith formation through Sunday Morning Bible Study, Wednesday Night Youth Group, Emmaus Gatherings, Youth Choir, and Mentor Groups.

Sunday Morning Youth Bible Study

Sunday Mornings from 9:45-10:45 a.m. in the Youth Suite

Join us in the Youth Suite on Sunday mornings for Sunday Morning Youth Bible Study from 9:45-10:45 a.m.!  We begin together as a group with games, announcements, and the occasional doughnuts!  Then we separate into our small groups for relevant study of scripture.  

Wednesday Night Youth Group

Wednesday Nights from 6:00-7:15 p.m. in the Youth Suite

Each Wednesday night, we gather up in the Youth Suite for time together as a youth group where we are able to relax from the day, hang out with one another, and talk about how we relate all these faith matters with our real lives.

Emmaus Gatherings

Once-a-month on Sunday Nights in the Youth Suite

So frequently in our busy lives with school work, soccer practice, band concerts, and time with friends, we have little time to stop and reflect on all that's going on in our lives.  In order to give our youth an opportunity to take that time, we offer Emmaus Gatherings - a once-a-month youth worship gathering where we worship through music, prayer experiences, and discussion.  Each month we focus on a different theme that is relevant with the lives of our youth.  Over the past year, we have focused on our spiritual journeys, Christ's death and resurrection, our mentor groups, and dealing with grief.  Emmaus Gatherings will start back up in fall 2009.

Youth Choir

Several Sunday Nights Each Semester in the Choir Room

HBC Youth have a lot of musical talent!  Each semester, our Youth Choir gathers together on Sunday nights under the direction of HBC's own Min

ister to Music, Kathy Collier, to learn new pieces that incorporate not only voices but guitars, percussion, and various other musical instruments!  Youth Choir usually performs in Sunday worship several times throughout the year.

Mentor Groups

Every Other Week in Members' Homes

Mentor Groups are groups divided into similar gender and age groups of youth that gather together every other week to fellowship together and talk about what's going on in their lives!  The groups meet outside of the church and in church members' homes.  Each group is led by two mentors.  To get plugged into a mentor group, contact Carol!
