Joelton Youth Ministries (JYM) seeks to balance
reaching the lost with the Gospel and developing the
next generation of Christian leaders. In addition to providing a range of
opportunities for spiritual growth and leadership, JYM also teaches students
to serve. Whether it's serving at FBCJ,
participating in our youth drama and worship teams,
feeding the homeless, or participating in projects like
World Changers or staffing Student Life Camp,
students learn to use their gifts for the Lord.

Student Survival Kit (Middle School)
Type: Bible Study/Discussion
Time: Sundays at 5:30 - 6:15 p.m.
Leader: Mike Cunningham
Location: The Deep End
This classic resource has been re-designed for this generation of students with a new, culturally relevant look. As students move beyond their critical decision to trust Jesus for eternal life, they will explore topics like sin, doubt, and sharing their faith as they encounter five specific stages in their walk with God:
Excitement
Fighting
Doubting
Panic-search-for-truth
The silent Christian stages
This study will also help students learn the basics of growing in Christ—establishing a quiet time, learning to pray, and learning to study the Bible and use it as a tool for growth. It will equip students to survive and thrive as they walk with God!
