First Baptist Church - Kannapolis, North Carolina




At Kannapolis First Baptist, we understand that the teenage years are a critical time. We find that most teens are either incredibly busy or totally bored, that most families are either currently facing a crisis or have in the recent past, and that many of the temptations that once lurked in dark corners are now readily available in our schools and even our homes. Sound at all familiar? Let me personally invite you to check out the youth ministry at First Baptist Church. We are committed to equipping parents with the tools and resources they need to disciple their children in the Way of the Lord and to creating opportunities for youth to experience God and his Word. We want you to know there are others struggling with the same things that you are, and we are here to help. Most of all, we just want the opportunity to show you that we care about you and that God cares about you. Listed below are various opportunities for you to be a part of our youth ministry. Hope to see you soon!

Student Life Small Groups (Sunday School) Sundays from 9:45-10:45am Each week students are challenged with the Word of God by caring and knowledgeable teachers. After a brief time of announcements and prayer, our Jr. High and Sr. High students split into two classes to dig deep into the Bible. Because we follow a six year curriculum, our students are certain to be exposed to the whole Word of God. Here's a sample of the year-long studies offered from StudentLife Bible Study: YEAR 1: Christ: The Life of Christ - The Basis of Faith YEAR 2: Character: Old Testament People - Encounters with God YEAR 3: Community: New Testament Church - The Essence of Fellowship Youth Worship Sundays from 6:00-7:00pm (supper provided at 5:30pm) This hour is dedicated to giving youth an opportunity to meet with God and hear biblical teaching/preaching that speaks directly to them. Singing, prayer, games, and open dialogue are a part of every Sunday evening experience. At Youth Worship you might hear a series on the book of Romans or How to Relate to Your Parents or When Bad Things Happen. Youth Worship is not a substitute for our church's corporate worship experience. It is a unique experience for youth to gather with their peers and seek to the Lord. Youth Discipleship Wednesdays from 6:15-7:15pm (hang time begins at 5:45pm) Various discipleship opportunities are offered on Wednesday evenings throughout the year. For example, youth may spend 3-4 weeks preparing to lead worship followed by another 3-4 series teaching them spiritual disciplines. Guys and girls may be divided for a period to facilitate gender specific discussions and so on. Prior to our discipleship time we invite youth to just be together and unwind after a busy day at school. Adults are available to talk with youth and minister to them individually.
