Colonial Bible Church Youth exists for the purpose of exalting Christ in the lives of the students that attend Colonial Bible Church. We take youth ministry very seriously at Colonial Bible Church. Our goal is met by teaching and training the next generation in the Scriptures, so that they may live and do all things to the glory of God.
We view youth ministry at Colonial Bible Church as a partnership with parents, by equipping both parents and students. To accomplish this, we encourage parents to be a part of as many youth events as possible. Parents are always welcome to sit in on youth Sunday School, Youth Bible Study, or other youth activities so they can hear what their children are being taught, and reinforce that teaching in the home.
