Throughout the history of our church, much emphasis has been placed upon
effectively ministering to young people. We know that during the teen
years, life-long values are established and decisions are being searched
for. It is during this time that people are most receptive to Jesus Christ.
Statistics reveal that 80% of those who receive Jesus Christ as Savior
and Lord, do so before the age of eighteen.
Because of those facts, we look upon our ministry to teens as being a
vital part of our church today. The Youth Ministries of Grace Bible Fellowship
Church have been designed to reach different kinds of students at every
level of interest. We are committed to a ministry of discipleship and
evangelism, and we believe that God desires to work through teens to reach
other teens with the gospel. They are an important part of the church
fulfilling the Great Commission.
Our desire is to see students totally commit their lives to Jesus Christ.
When they do this, they will live in accordance with His Word, be empowered
by the Holy Spirit, and have a servant's heart. Our methods in ministering
to youth are tailored to meet these goals and their needs.
