THE CHURCH OF TODAY
PREPARING FOR TOMORROW
We believe that teenagers are a vital part of the Church of today.
They will be the leaders of the Church of the future. Therefore,
the purpose of the Teen Ministries at Pekin Bible Church is to assist parents
in training up their youth in God's Word and Faith in Jesus Christ, developing
their understanding of and participation in the life of the Body of Christ,
from the teen years onto adulthood. With this purpose in mind we
have:
A FOCUS ON RELATIONSHIPS
We stress the teen's relationship to God, to others in the youth group,
and to the entire church. Our desire is that each teenager have a
personal relationship with God through salvation in Jesus Christ.
A DESIRE FOR MINISTRY
We desire that a teenager's personal walk with God affect his or her attitude
and behavior towards others. The Youth Ministries introduce young
people to Bible study, group activity, and participation in ministry.
The goal is for young people to grow in these areas and gain increased
responsibility for ministry to friends and others.
A COMMITTED STAFF
We believe that a vital youth ministry begins with committed parents and
adults from within the church body. The teens and their parents are
brought into planning and directing of the Teen Ministry as much as possible.
Our staff strives to know and be involved with the young people's lives
in order to communicate loving care and support as they grow in their relationship
with Jesus Christ.
