YOUTH & YOUNG ADULTS MINISTRY

The youth of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church humbly and respectfully reject the idea that they are the church of tomorrow; they believe that they are the church of RIGHT NOW.  The youth do not believe that they have to wait to advance the cause of Christ: they want to be a part of the revolution now--today--in our homes, in our schools, and in our everyday lives.  They believe that through worship, evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, and ministry, they CAN make a difference in this world.

Our weekly Bible Studies are engineered to help prepare us for the battle ahead, and our discipleship retreats provide in-depth training intended to mold and shape us into the image of Christ.  Our mobile house parties are specifically planned to provide opportunities for both fellowship and evangelism.  And we are very passionate about missions--both at home and abroad.  It is our prayer that in both large and small ways, we can be used by our Master and Lord Jesus Christ to transform our homes, schools, communities, and ultimately, our world.  Our goal, as Saint Ignatius said in the Spiritual Exercises, is to "see Him more clearly, love Him more dearly, [and] follow Him more nearly."

Here’s a look at what’s happening in June — and
a sneak peek at what’s just around the corner:

JUNE 23–28 – TVR Week (Teen Valley Ranch)
The countdown is on! TVR is right around the corner, and we’re so excited for this life-changing week together.
Reminder: There will be no Wednesday Night Youth this week while we’re away at camp.
Please make sure all forms and payments are turned in tonight if you haven’t already!

COMING UP THIS SUMMER:

JULY 9 – Water Games Wednesday
Bring clothes you can get soaked in and a towel—we’re going all in for a night of wild water games!

JULY 12 – Youth Room Clean-Up
It’s time to give our space a fresh clean! Come ready to serve and make our youth room shine again.

AUGUST 6 – Pool Party
We’re celebrating our new 6th graders as they officially join the youth group! Come for swimming, snacks, and fun in the sun.

AUGUST 13 – Mission Outreach
We’ll be heading back to Bluff County Park to serve our community—just like we did with Merge. Let’s put our faith into action!

AUGUST 20 – Lake Day @ Fantasy Lake
This is a summer favorite! We’ll leave right after church on Sunday. Cost is $40 per person—mark your calendar and invite a friend! — Whether it’s diving into fun, serving our city, or worshiping together at camp, we believe summer is a season God can use in powerful ways.

Also (IMPORTANT): Rising 6th graders are now officially part of the crew! We are thrilled to welcome them into the Student Ministry family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AFTER HOURS SUNDAY SCHOOL: We are starting a new program in the youth ministry too! — where we hit pause on the rush of life and come together outside of Sunday mornings to hang out, eat good food, and dive into what God’s Word really says—without the pressure of a classroom. The Youth Sunday School Classes will meet in our leaders' homes, and it’s the perfect mix of chill and meaningful. Whether you've been coming to Sunday School forever or you're just looking for a place to ask questions, this is for you.

If you have questions, need more info, or just want to say hey—feel free to reach out anytime!
