Mission Statement

What is youth ministry all about at North Run Baptist Church? Our ministry to teenagers, to young people and to the young at heart is a work in progress, just like a teen’s life.

We don’t have all the answers to life questions, but we do serve a God who does knows all the answers. You may have questions like, “What is my purpose in life?” God’s Word, the Bible, says, “I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11) The youth ministry at North Run is committed to helping each teen find God’s plan for his/her life.

Do you ever wonder, “Who loves me?” Again, God’s Word, the Bible reminds us, “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love.” (1 John 4:16)

This message is the most important message we strive to teach; God has an everlasting love for you. No matter how rich or poor you are, God loves you for who you are.

We hope you always feel welcomed to join us on Wednesday nights at 6 PM and Sunday mornings beginning at 9:45 AM.

Always remember, your life has a purpose and you are loved by God with an everlasting love. Come join us in learning about this loving God.
