Youth Ministry
Youth Ministry
Many of us want to be a part of something that’s real and meaningful, something that’s relevant, something that can change a life…maybe your own or someone you know. I know this to be true for me and it may be for you as well.
The Youth Ministry at Midland Bible exists to expose you to God’s love, to connect you to His community, and to equip you to honor Him with your life.
The Youth Ministry at Midland Bible strives to do just that. This is a ministry where you can grow, serve and have a lot of fun while doing it. We desire to invest in your life through the weekly study of God’s Word; small group ministry (Growth Groups); regular mentoring and discipleship; annual activities, and through connecting with each other at “SrF” (Spiritual Renewal and Fun).
At SrF students can seize opportunities within the ministry to lead and serve each other during this time of relevant teaching, music, service projects, games and of course…food!
I want to invite you to be part of something that could change you…for the rest of your life! Our goal…our priority…our focus is to love God and love others!
That’s what we’re about.
Update coming soon!
We’re working to get updated information. We apologize for the inconvenience until then.

SRF! – Spiritual Renewal & Fun!
Sunday Evenings (6:30pm – 8:00pm)
All students in the Junior Varsity (Grades 7-9) and the Varsity (Grades 10-12) meet for a time of fun, food, games, hang out time with friends, spiritual growth and service. This is one of the main areas in which students make the ministry their own and use their gifting and talents to serve the Lord and each other. SRF gives all students and those involved in student leadership and the music team the opportunity to serve, to lead, and to be an example to others.
SRF includes varying themes of:
- Praise and Worship (with the Music Team)
- Biblical Teaching
- Service Projects (Project 15:58)
- Games and Activity Nights
- Student-Led Activities
G2′s – Growth Groups
Wednesday Evenings (Varying Times)
Growth takes place within the context of community and in doing life together (Acts 2:42-47). G2′s are designed for the building of community, a common-unity of joining with a few others… in a quest to be changed by God. The goal of G2’s is to move from simply talking about how to live out the Christian life to developing and practicing spiritual disciplines in living out a life that is honoring to God.
Students spend time with each other building friendships while:
- Connecting with friends
- Having fun
- Discussing relevant and applicable topics that you can live out in your life
- Asking questions / Getting your questions answered
- Praying for each other
Groups are led by an adult volunteer leader and are divided up into groups according to gender and age (7-8 Grade, 9-10 Grade and 11-12 Grade).

Ministry Core Values
The Youth Ministry at Midland Bible exists to expose you to God’s love, to connect you to His community, and to equip you to honor Him with your life.
Expose… you to Christ and His leading
We desire that you would come to know Jesus Christ (John 17:3). You were created to be connected to Him and He desires to know you! Through faith in Him (John 3:16) and His finished work on the Cross, you can be accepted and adopted as His child into the family of God.
Connect… you to His community of believers
We desire for you to be connected to Christ and grow in this ministry. Growth takes place within the context of community and in doing life together (Acts 2:42-47). You can connect with others in this common-unity adventure and be changed by God.
Equip… you to encourage and serve each other
We desire to follow Christ’s example and invest in your life. Christ came to earth, put on flesh and involved Himself in the lives of His creation, the twelve disciples and others. He did not lead from a distance. He taught His word, His truth, and prepared His followers to love, serve and benefit others (Matthew 22:37-39) (Ephesians 4:11-16).
Honor… God with your life
We desire for you to live out a blessed life (John 10:10) and honor Christ as you remain connected to Him (John 15:5). You have the opportunity to be a “good and faithful” servant of the Lord (Matthew 25:23) as you love God and love your neighbor (Matthew 22:37-39) and serve them in your area of influence at home, school, work or wherever the Lord has you.
