The "Aftershock" Philosophy and Guidelines
As a Youth Group, we
strive to grow inwardly
in hopes that it will shake our world for Christ outwardly.
Acts 4:31 ~
And when they had prayed,
the place was shaken where they were assembled together;
and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost,
and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Youth Group Overview
The Nehemiah Baptist Church
Youth Group meets every
Wednesday night at
7PM and Sunday evenings at 6PM. We
enjoy singing,
playing games, and studying God’s Word. An emphasis
is put on
the memorization of scripture and sharing what we have
learned with
others. We also place a high importance on being
involved and
reaching out to our friends, family, and into the
community. Future
goals include having a youth choir and
praise band.
Philosophy
Our desire as a group is to…
1. Develop a deeper, personal relationship
with God
(Ephesians
4:14-15)
2. Encourage soul winning
(Mark 16:15)
3. Fully understand the Gospel and doctrine
(Titus 2:1)
4. See how the Bible relates to us on a day
to day basis
(II Timothy 3:16)
5. Have fun as we
fellowship and study God’s Word
(I
Corinthians 10:31)

that I might by all means save some.”
