...and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.  I Peter 3:15 Sunday School The purpose of the Sunday morning Teen Sunday School will be for the  teaching and training of young people for use in the ministry. From the life of  Christ to Bible doctrine; from A-Z Practical Christianity to training on  leadership, everything has the goal of preparing a teen to be ready to give  and answer to every man that asketh them a reason of the hope that is in  them with meekness and fear. Wednesday Nights Their are two parts to our Wednesday night studies. Through a program  called Proteens we focus on the practical side of the Christian life. Each year  focuses on a different study that helps teens to prepare for life’s challenges.  We start off with fellowship time and quickly move into a quiz about what we  studied the prior week. Then teens compete with each other through teams  that challenge each other in their knowledge of God’s Word . Afterwards their  is a Bible message pertaining to the years study and then a time of fun and  activity. During the summer teens split into groups by gender and  are challenged  through programs called Bright LIGHTS for girls and Light Shop for boys. For  girls it is a time of preparation for becoming the young lady that honors the  Lord in her life. The boys group focuses on becoming a leader in both the  home and th church.  Activities Activities should have a purpose. (I Cor. 10:23)  • For fellowship, edification, and teaching of the youth group (Rom.  14:19)  • Helping teens interact with other teenagers.  • Reaching the lost (Mark 16:15)  • Though activities can be a vital part of the youth ministry, it will not be  thecenter of it. They are a means to accomplish a goal not the goal  itself. Other Programs include: Youth Rallies with other churches in the area - for fellowship and challenge. Teen camp at the Wilds in Brevard, NC -  for a week of intense practical training. Missions Trips -  for teens to get a heart and burden for missions. Teen Revival (COMBAT) - focuses on evangelism and laboring for Christ. Teen Visitation - to develop a teenager’s burden and desire to win the lost.
