Youth Ministry


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.

Have questions or want to get involved int the youth ministry? Contact Youth Minister Mike Cunningham by email or by phone (876-0527).

Discipleship Classes - Sunday Evenings


Our new discipleship classes, listed below, will begin on August 22.

Student Survival Kit (Middle School)


Student Survival Kit book cover
  • 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!


Experiencing God - Youth Edition (High School)


Experiencing God for Youth book cover
  • Type: Bible Study/Discussion
  • Time: Sundays at 6:15 - 7:00 p.m.
  • Leader: Mike Cunningham
  • Location: The Deep End

Adapted from the best-selling adult study of the same name, students learn to hear God. This exciting, truly compelling Bible study will help students:

  • Learn to hear when God is speaking
  • Find out how God is speaking
  • Find out where God is working and join Him
  • Experience God doing what only He can do
