"The Lighthouse" Philosophy and Guidelines
As a Youth Group, we
strive to grow inwardly
in hopes that it will shine outwardly.
Matthew 5:16~ “Let your light so shine before
men,
that they may see your good works
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
Youth Group Overview
The Nehemiah Baptist Church
Youth Group meets every
Wednesday night at
7pm and Sunday mornings at 10am. We
enjoy singing,
games, and studying God’s Word. An emphasis
is put on
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. We
also look to eventually begin a “parents of
teens” class.
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)
Guidelines
Adult Leadership (Proverbs 22:6; I. Timothy 4:12)
1. Must be an active member in the church.
2. Must be seen by the teens as having a close relationship
to God.
3. Must have a desire and “calling” to work with teens.
Qualifications for being in the Youth Group
1. Must be in the 6th grade or 12
years old by Dec. 31st of

2. Being a “student” of the Youth Group ends the year of

I. Corinthians 9:19-23
“For though I become free from all
men,
yet have I made myself servant unto all,
that I might gain the more…
that I might by all means save some.”
