Preparing Teens For The Future |
|
|
This ministry is designed to provide in-depth leadership training for teens. "Preparing Teens For The Future" is its focus. Teenagers are trained to assume leadership roles and responsibilities, while being exposed to Christian role models, professionals, business owners, community leaders and other persons who will be a positive influence on their lives. Teen leaders are matched with adult leaders for mentoring and apprenticeship purposes.
The Believers Worship Center, Inc., (TBWC) inspires and helps prepare teens for high school graduation, continuance of their education through college, technical schooling, or special programs for job training. TBWC has parent discussions about where their teenage children are with regard to spiritual and social growth, and what steps need to be taken if there is a need for improvement. This program informs teens about Corporate America and the job market. As they move forward into adulthood, teens are taught to understand the importance of resume presentations, job interviews, and how to dress appropriately when seeking employment. Our ministry teaches teens that prayer is asking, seeking and knocking (Matthew 7:7-8) to believe Jesus Christ for opportunities to succeed in life. Our goal is to teach them to not fear rejection, but to keep knocking at the door. We teach our teens their Christian life will make a difference. Preparing Teens For The Future is building the future. |

Laying The Foundation For Salvation: This ministry is established to equip teens with appropriate scripture, "know-how" techniques, and teams in ministering Salvation and the in-filling of the Holy Spirit. Members of this ministry are taught how to respond to challenges often experienced by teens, both before and after receiving salvation.
Presenting the Gospel of Christ: This special ministry is developed to teach teens how to research, write and present the Gospel. Topics such as peer pressure, lying, child-parent relationships, children of the Bible and other important topics are discussed via video and trained personnel.
Youth Intercessors: Under the direction of qualified adult intercessors, teens are equipped to pray for others, especially other youth. Additionally, they enhance their skills, knowledge and abilities for rightly dividing the Word of God. Each young adult walks through key Bible verses, learning what God says, and to whom He said it. They also conduct visitations to peers in hospitals, homes, and other locations.

Teen Recreation: This ministry environment is upbeat, contemporary and impacted with lots of fun. Teenagers are kept off the streets, and non-believers are encouraged to participate in good Holy entertainment. Its purpose is to provide a Christian "teen hang-out" location in place of secular hangout locations. The ministry will sponsor pizza parties, basketball, swimming, skating, bowling, car shows, or other events for teens to enjoy their Christian life.
Summer Camps & Retreats: This ministry designs, promotes and monitors summer camps and retreats for youth. Its purpose is to create environments where Bible study, practice and implementation occur during weekends and other time frames determined by the Director. This ministry affords opportunities to concentrate on the needs of youth in a environment, which fosters learning and fellowship in a structured and collaborative manner. |
