Mission Statement:
The Macedonia Baptist Church Youth Ministry is led by the spirit of God and committed to the development of our youth through the Word of God. We are devoted to spiritual growth as well as teaching and discussing today’s significant social issues our youth face on a daily basis. We pledge to strengthen our ministry through relationship building, Christian education, recreational activities, retreats, and community outreach.
Meetings/Activities:
We are very excited with the many blessings God has given us and the numerous opportunities we have to share with our youth. The activities for youth in grades seven through twelve are designed to encourage openness to learn the Word of God in a spirit-filled environment, where they will be encouraged to share with other youth.
Sunday Mornings:
We have Fulfillment Hour (Sunday School) classes each Sunday from 9:00-1000. Our classes are divided up into 7th-8th, 9th-10th, 11th-12th grades for the girls, and 7th-9th and 10th-12th for the boys. We have dynamic teachers who are equipped to teach the Word of God in an exciting and spirit-filled way to allow complete understanding from our youth.
Also, we have been blessed to have the 2nd Sunday of each month dedicated to the youth and children of Macedonia. We lead the entire service to include, singing, ushering, greeting, prayer, scripture reading, and offering. You must stop by to take part in this exciting and blessed worship service.
