Parents Information

We appreciate the parents that have supported the youth ministry. We want to continue developing a family-friendly ministry, where we partner with parents to effectively impact the lives of teenagers.

We have a defined strategy with quality programs that assist students in their spiritual growth. Our goal is the same goal God has for all Christians and that is to grow into the likeness of Jesus Christ. Let me emphasize the word “assist” because I know that one’s spiritual growth isn’t solely dependent our on student ministry. I believe, with all my heart, we have some of the best teaching, discussion groups, practical tools, and spiritual growth opportunities around. If a student wants to grow in his/her faith we can help at any place in their spiritual journey.

We want to do everything that we can to keep you aware of the activities of the youth group. Each month we make a schedule available for students to take home and will be available under the “Events Link” on the Youth Ministry Homepage. Its purpose is to inform you and remind them of the events that we are holding that month and in the future. We know that to have a strong ministry, we must communicate with parents as much as possible.

Developing a Family-friendly Youth Ministry is a Priority at Midway Baptist Church

  • We desire to communicate with parents as much as possible to keep you informed about the youth group services and activities.
  • We desire to promote partnership with parents, helping them in areas that we have mutual interest. Our goal is to see our students grow in their faith and to provide environments to help facilitate that growth.
  • However, with just two or three hours a week it is impossible for us to do that alone. We have occasional meetings, which are designed to help us come together with parents to help them in any way possible.
