WELCOME TO THE PARENTS PAGE @ BCC

Parents, 

I want to first of all, say thank you for allowing us to partner with you in the development of your child's spiritual formation.   We consider it a great priveledge that you entrust your kids into our care, whether it for the two hours on Sundays or for the various outreach events we have in the community.  

On this page you will find an overview of what it will look like for you child to be involved in youth ministry at Bolton Community Church.  We want church to be a place where your children are know by their multi-facetedness, just as God knows them fully and perfectly.  

Yours in Christ,

Pastor Scotty

Our youth ministry exists to cultivate in your people a love for God,
for His word, for His church, and for His world in order that they
might be conformed into the image of Christ.

We pursue our mission of the youth ministry by:

Committing - to the consistent teaching of God's word in youth group and small groups.  To the intentional pursuit of long-term dicispleship relationships.  

Connecting - 7th - 12th graders to one another through small groups with peers that are led by mature believers and our Bible Insititute Ministry Team.  Young people to God's church, both local and global.

Equipping - our youth for a life of evangelism and servant leadership.  Young people to seek justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God.  

We want to invite your children to join us this Sunday as we commune to worship God and strengthen our relationships with one another. Our youth group, The Vine, is open to all kids between 6th and 12th grade.  We meet every Sunday evening from 5:30 to 7:00. A typical evening at The Vine includes a group game, a testimony from God’s word, and some small group time to unpack what we have learned. Thank you for considering us for your family’s spiritual growth. We hope to see you this Sunday! 

What is our Youth Ministry all about?

Our mission and vision statements represent the high standard that we are striving for our ministry to look like. We are a work in progress, but by God’s grace and power we will step closer to this vision every day.  

Mission Statement:

To cultivate Godly wisdom, unity and servitude by upholding a Gospel-centered youth ministry. 

Vision Statement:

Wisdom: We develop the wisdom of our students in three ways: incorporating them into our worship, plugging them into small groups and giving them opportunities to practice their knowledge in the real world. As a result, our students are able to see Christ’s story revealed throughout Scripture as a whole and are moved to share their knowledge with others.

Unity: Our students are an example to the Church for what it means to live as members of one body. They are learning to love one another as only a family of close friends can. More and more every day they are revealing themselves to be the image of Christ’s body to the Church and to the world.

Servitude: Our students are discontent with only hearing and never speaking the truth of the Gospel. Every week they have been guided through what it means to be the mouth and feet of Jesus’ Church body. Although evangelism is expected of them, they choose to do it willingly out of the love of their own hearts. Because of their faithful servitude, they are beginning to meet the needs of our local community and are significantly changing the culture throughout our entire city.

Summary of Vision:

Our students are demonstrating growth in Godly wisdom, unity and servitude as a result of the life-changing power of the Gospel.

Main Goal:

Facilitating real growth in our youth by teaching them to embody Christ to others.

Matthew 28:18-20, 12:34; John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 12:12-3; James 2:14-26; Psalm 68:35
