Wednesday Nights for Youth
(During School Year)

Small Groups
5:45-7:15 p.m. during school year
Students meet together to hang out and catch up with their friends, then in their small groups, they discuss their "highs and lows" of the week and prayer requests.  We will continue with Small Groups this school year, utilizing the safety procedures outlined on this page.  Guests are welcome to visit a small group and don't have to start at the beginning.

What We Teach: Milestones (2020-2021)
As students enter the teen years, they move toward a deeper understanding of foundational spiritual truths. Milestones will lead students through 10 core biblical concept areas over the course of one year, offering explanations and opportunities for exploration of the following core truths of Christianity:
  • God
  • Jesus
  • Holy Spirit
  • Bible
  • Salvation
  • Creation
  • Church
  • People
  • Family
  • Community & World
As students grow in spiritual development, they will be able to progress in their faith and ability to know and process the truth of scripture with regard to each of these areas.

A.C.T.I.O.N. Wednesdays
A Call To Invest in Our Neighbors
Below is how A.C.T.I.O.N. Wednesdays typically look on a given school year.  Due to limitations with travel and the availability of our community partners while COVID restrictions remain, our A.C.T.I.O.N. Wednesdays will look a little different this year.  See below for the heart behind A.C.T.I.O.N. Wednesdays and keep checking back for updates.

During the school year, our small groups alternate between serving in the community and having small group Bible study at the church.  On a given Wednesday night, it's likely that one or more of the small groups will be away from the church while another is at church learning, discussing, and praying together.  The next week, the groups trade off.  This gives life to balanced approach we enjoy at First Baptist Student Ministries.  We sometimes serve some shut-ins from our own church family.  Other times, we serve organizations like:
  • Baptist Sharing House
  • Cooperative Christian Ministry's Mothers & Children's Housing Ministry
  • Cabarrus Women's Center
  • Main Street Mission
  • Operation Homeless
  • Transitional Health & Rehabilitation Center
  • Esther's Heart for Transformation Ministry, Inc.

Until further notice, 2020-2021 A.C.T.I.O.N. Wednesdays will be drop-off and pick-up on site, as the church bus won't be used.

Safety Plan for In-Person Meetings

  • “Large Group” meetings in Fellowship Hall instead of the youth room, to allow for distancing.
  • Sunday Night Dinners won't be served.  Students are encouraged to eat before youth group or to bring their meals with them.  Once per month, individual boxed meals will be served, compliments of the youth ministry.
  • Masks must be worn, per church-wide procedure (until further notice).
  • Greeters will be at doors to reduce door-touchings, along with hand sanitizer dispensing.
  • Hand sanitizer will be readily available.
  • Bathroom visits must be one person at a time.
  • Small Group discussions will spread out in various break-out rooms on the lower level, one group to a room, to allow for distancing.

"I keep coming back to FBCK youth group because they make it fun to come. We have a mix of fun and serious activities. All of the people in youth group care for each other and you know they have your back and they're there if you need them."
