Youth Ministry
Youth Group
The Youth Ministry at VBC is centered on missions, involvement in the community, and helping our young people grow into the larger life of the church. They meet regularly each week for Bible study, missions, and fun, and they enjoy annual retreats.
Sunday Morning Bible Study
Youth, grades 7-12, gather in the youth room (2nd floor of the Activities building) on Sunday mornings at 9:35am to take a deep dive into scripture.
Sunday Afternoon Send Off
Twice a month, on Sunday afternoons, our youth enjoy a mix of Bible study, missions, and fellowship. Their time during this gathering is intended to encourage youth to carry their faith with them as salt and light in our community.
Our gathering time varies but is most consistently 3:30pm-5:00pm.
Wednesday Evening Huddle
On Wednesday evenings, from 6:00 PM-7:00 PM our youth gather together to grow in relationship with one another and with God. This time together serves as a huddle of sorts, empowering our youth to finish their week strong in the Lord.
Friday Morning Recharge
With so many demands on our youth, we recognize the importance of regular opportunities to remain grounded in their faith. On Friday mornings at 6:45am we gather at Burger King on Forsyth Rd. for a time of prayer and fellowship. This time together serves builds on the strength of Wednesday evenings and helps to remind youth that they are not alone as they seek to live lives grounded in their faith in the Lord.
