YOUTH MINISTRY (6th to 12th grade)
Middle- and high school youth at FBCR are not only cared for by their leaders but are also well connected with the congregation at large. This provides our teenagers with diverse models of Christians who are following Jesus for the long haul.
 
What do we do?
bullet point
 Youth leaders plan weekly activities, retreats, mission trips, outings, Bible studies, and are involved in the lives of our youth in order that they may personally experience Jesus’ love and come to freely choose to follow him.
bullet point
 We keep things simple by looking at Jesus from the Gospels and undertaking opportunities for our youth to apply what they are learning.
bullet point We partner with parents to provide youth with a good foundation for a life-long journey of becoming a faithful and teachable servant leader.
Please contact Pastor Joe DeRoulhac for more information.
 
The Youth Ministry of The First Baptist Church of Redlands seeks to provide middle- and high school youth with the opportunities to:

EXPERIENCE GROWTH in their love for God and people near and far.

 DEVELOP FRIENDSHIPS with people of all ages and a relationship with Jesus that will help them experience God’s abiding love. FIND ENCOURAGEMENT from the Bible and others who are following Jesus to help them grow in their faith journey. BE INVOLVED in the ministries of the church to reach out and care for people in our community and world.
Activities All events and programs are open for youth in 6th through 12th grade. In addition to our weekly programs, beach trips, hiking outings, dances, parties, trips to amusement parks, and other activities are planned throughout the year. View the list of events.

Mission Trips With a variety of ways to serve locally, nationally, as well as overseas, our mission trips are times for students to build relationships as well as grow in their understanding of faith, service, and justice. Past trips include serving in: Redlands; Nicaragua; Baja, Mexico; the Hopi Reservation in Arizona; and Los Angeles.
Camps and Retreats Different camping opportunities are held throughout the year: Winter Camp at Thousand Pines Christian Camp; the National Youth Gathering in Colorado every three years; and summer retreats (Campus by the Sea at Catalina Island, various beaches, and our own local mountains).
Fundraisers Through various fundraising opportunities and youth scholarships, the question of “how will our family afford this?” is easier to answer. Students have helped in a variety of ways to raise money for scholarships by supporting various causes in our church, neighborhoods, and abroad. Retreat and activity fees are subsidized through the generosity of friends and members of FBCR.
