Youth have great time at XTREME Conference!

The Quest Student Ministries of First Baptist Church recently attended the XTREME Winter Conference in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.  Over 6,500 students were in attendance over a three day period.  The conference consisted of well-known Christian artists and Youth speakers.  Each session spoke to the heart of teenagers and challenged them to stand with their youth pastors rather than just standing for their youth pastors.  The youth had the awesome experience of bringing in the New Year with  Third Day, Newsong, Hawk Nelson and many other contemporary Christian music groups.  It was a unique experience to celebrate the final seconds of 2006 with so many Christian teenagers.  It just proves that we can have a great time even in a Christian atmosphere.  Mark your calendars for next year and join us for a great weekend in Gatlinburg.

 Be patient as we transition into "The Basement."  We will be under construction for a few weeks.  We are trying to update the area so it will be better suited for Wednesday Night and Sunday Mornings.  Keep an ear open for opportunites to help with the room.  L would like to thank Gary Beavers and a number of youth who helped build and paint the new stage.  The next faze in the renovation process will be the completion of "The Diner."                        

Venturing

Come join our venturing crew at First Baptist Church.  As a Venturer, you will join other teenagers in planning and operating your venturing crew with guidance from qualified adult advisors.  To participate, you must have completed the 8th grade and be between 14 and 20 years of age.  Venturing provides high adventure experiences in which teenagers can learn outdoor skills, leadership, responsibility and be taught the spiritual truths that can be lived out daily.

What kind of activities will we do?

There are too many to list here, but some are backpacking, horseback riding, rock climbing, living history, paintball, service projects and many more!!
