Teenager Bible Study

The teens meet monthly on the first Saturday of the month at the church from 6-8 PM. Next meeting is June 6th, 2026. Meetings begin with a time for snacks and conversation, followed by a time of direct Bible engagement. After the study there’s time for more snacks, pool, air hockey, foosball, and casual hangout. We won’t cry if the teens stay past 8. 

The focus of our next meeting is salvation past, present, and future. Then we’ll move on to apologetics and worldview matters. Stuff like: how can I know the Bible is true? We want to move our teenagers from knowing truth to personal conviction. From knowing truth to connecting the truth to their own lives. Focus is connecting the youth to God and to one another. There’s freedom for teenagers to ask any question they have. Everything is on the table. Study is led by Pastor Eric. Contact Pastor Eric at 207-480-9021 for more info.

Other Opportunities for Teens and Parents

Given the temptations and confusion present in our culture, your children face numerous challenges: questions of identity, peer pressure at school, and competing worldviews. Therefore, parents have a daunting task as they seek to reach their children with the gospel. And we think that a child’s parents are the most important component in any youth ministry (Ephesians 6:4). We seek to partner with parents in the following ways:
  • Through connection to the body of Christ, the local church. When your teenager interacts with the whole congregation, they’ll learn how to fellowship with people from diverse backgrounds, they’ll learn how to honor and submit to their elders, they’ll learn how to honor older men and women, and they’ll learn how to live out the one another commands of the New Testament. They can only learn how to do this in the context of the local church. As they engage and experience the local church in its fullness, they’ll develop a worldview that values the local church and they’ll make progress in their discipleship. You’ll find teenagers engaging as full participants with adults during weekly small groups. You’ll find teenagers participating in the Ladies Bible Study and the Men’s Breakfast. And you’ll find teenagers in the adult Sunday school class. If we want our children to stick with the church after high school, we need to connect them to the church when they’re young.
  • We provide resources that help equip parents with a biblical perspective (e.g., Christian books, seminars, one on one discipleship, etc.).
  • Pastoral counseling is available to parents. Here we can work through your unique challenges while offering biblical wisdom and encouragement.
  • By saturating your children with the Bible during our gatherings. During our various meetings, your children will learn how the gospel shapes our lives and brings hope and clarity when the heat comes. By being a Word-centered church, your children will encounter the truth which shapes the heart and yields transformation.
