Youth Ministries

At New Life Baptist Church, our youth group is more than just a gathering—it's a family. We are passionate about equipping students in grades 6-12 to grow in their faith, build lasting friendships, and make a difference in their world. Through dynamic Bible studies, engaging worship, fun activities, and service opportunities, we aim to help young people navigate life with Christ at the center.

Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or looking to go deeper in your relationship with God, there's a place for you here. Events and dates can be found on the church calendar, or by contacting our Associate Pastor.

Come as you are, bring your friends, and discover what it means to live a life full of purpose and joy.

We can't wait to meet you!

  • Our youth group is open to all students in grades 6-12. Whether you’re a regular church attendee or new to New Life Baptist Church, you’re welcome here!

  • We typically meet the second, and last Friday of every month. However, you can see upcoming events on the calendar tab above, or be included in update emails about upcoming events by contacting Pastor Matt.

  • We have a mix of activities, including Bible studies, worship nights, fun outings, community service projects, game nights, and more. There’s always something exciting going on!

  • Not at all! You don’t need to be a member of New Life Baptist Church to participate. Our youth group is open to anyone looking to grow spiritually and connect with others.

  • Some nights there may be a small fee to cover charges, this will typically be less than $5. Occasionally, events like retreats, mission trips, or special outings may have a more significant cost. We strive to make everything affordable, and scholarships may be available for larger events.

  • Our youth group is led by Pastor Matt and a group of AMAZING volunteers, who are passionate about mentoring and inspiring students. They’re here to support you and your family in any way they can.

  • Absolutely! We welcome parents to support the youth group by volunteering at events, helping with transportation, or simply praying for our students and leaders. Contact us to find out how you can help!

  • Our Bible studies focus on helping students understand God’s Word and how it applies to their lives. We cover topics like faith, relationships, identity in Christ, and making wise choices. We use age-appropriate lessons designed to engage and challenge students.

  • The safety of our students is a top priority. All youth leaders and volunteers undergo background checks, and we maintain clear supervision during all activities. We also have safety protocols in place for trips and events.

  • Feel free to ask one of our youth leaders to add you to our communication list, or reach Matt by filling out the contact form and ask to be added to the update list.

  • Of course! We encourage you to bring your friends along. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun and fellowship.

  • That’s perfectly okay! Our youth group is a safe place to ask questions, explore faith, and discover what a relationship with Jesus looks like. We’re here to walk alongside you on your journey.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
