WHAT WE PROVIDE

Baptist Youth Fellowship (BYF) is a mid week ministry designed to share the good news of Jesus Christ and His importance in your child's life through music, Bible verse memorization, lessons, activities and games.  When your child attends BYF we will provide a safe, fun, learning environment to accomplish this.

 

WHAT YOUR CHILDREN CAN EXPECT

Each night will begin with music.  There will be 2 age groups - pre-school through 2nd grade and 3rd grade through 6th grade.  This will be followed by lesson time with their teacher or the Pastor.  Bible memorization is very important and each night your child will be given the opportunity to recite their verse to the teacher, but not necessarily time to learn the verse, so please help them learn their verse at home.  Each week different classes will participate in recreation or store time.  Children have the opportunity to earn points each week and spend them at the BYF store.  The store will have toys, games, Adventure Bibles, and more.

CANCELLING BYF

If there is no school due to teacher in-service etc... there will still be BYF.  BYF will only be cancelled if we do not have school due to weather conditions.

 

We are excited that your child will be a part of the BYF ministry.  For you mothers who bring your child/youth to BYF please stay and join us for a time of ministry with other women.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us!
