In
2005, the largest survey ever undertaken for youth spirituality was done
by UNC Chapel Hill in a book entitled Soul Searching. In their finding
they share several important facts:
- “More highly religiously active teenagers are doing significantly
better in life on a variety of important outcomes than are less religiously
active teens.”
- “Nearly four in ten U.S. teens are involved in a religious youth
group and have been for multiple years. About seven in ten have been
involved in a religious youth group at some time in their lives.”
- “Many … teenagers are themselves engaged in a kind of search
for their own souls – trying to sort through their life and faith
identity, belief, commitments, and practices in their long passage from
childhood to adulthood.”

The
Youth Ministry of First Baptist Church, Hillsborough exists to reach youth
with the good news of Jesus Christ, that they may be mentored in their
relationship with God and glorify Him with their lives as they fellowship
with one another and serve others in Christian love.
This mission statement is meant to be in conjunction with the overall
church mission statement. In it, you will find the aspects of testimony,
discipleship, worship and fellowship. Our youth activities are consequently
planned around these aspects of ministry to support a well-balanced youth
program. Every month, we have an activity strictly intended to promote
fellowship. This may include a trip to the movies, bowling, lock-ins,
ect. We also have monthly testimony activities. This can take on the form
of a mission project like painting someone's house, visiting the nursing
homes or raking the yards of senior adults. The monthly testimony activity
can also be more of an outreach event in which we are trying to get inactive
youth involved, reaching out to the unchurched in our community or heading
off to Summer Camp to do mission work. Every Sunday morning, Sunday night
and Wednesday nights, we have times of discipleship in the form of Sunday
School, Youth Bible Studies and Missions Education. We welcome any youth
to join us as we seek to join God in His ministry.
