FBC - High School

Beyond is FBC’s High School Ministry. Our ministry goal is to produce adult disciples, whose faith took root and was nourished throughout their teen years.

The central verse for Beyond is Colossians 2:6-7 “Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.”

This verse drives our four main goals for everything we do.

Rooted: We desire to lead students to root their lives, identity, and hopes in the truths of the Gospel. And so, students will learn to present, explain, and express the truths of the Gospel.
Built Up: We seek to encourage students to be formed by the Gospel into the image of Christ. Students will be asked to put into practice the actions and characteristics of Jesus.
Established: We believe that God’s word is living, active, and the primary means by which God changes hearts. Therefore, students will be encouraged to learn to read the Bible for themselves.
Abounding in Thanksgiving: The Christian life is a thankful response to the undeserved love of God through Jesus. The students therefore will not seek to earn anything from God, but to love him with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength.

We meet Sunday nights at 6:00-8:30 p.m. in the Swegles Building, and every Sunday morning at 9:15 a.m. for Sunday School. We also plan special activities throughout the year; these times together include prayer, service projects, retreats and conferences.

Retreats and Conferences

Every year we attend conferences and retreats together. These times give us a chance to get know one another better, be challenged by dynamic speakers and have a lot of fun. Our favorite place to get away for a retreat is Camp Barakel and many of our teens also serve there during their summer breaks. We also host many conferences and simulcasts such as “Follow Me” and “CrossCon”, we would love to have you come, learn and grow with us.

Events and Activities

Each year we plan many activities to draw the group closer to one another, learn from God's Word together and have a great time. We have events that happen on a regular basis like a S.N.A.C. (Sunday night after church) where we play games together, fellowship and eat; or other activities like scavenger hunts and all-nighters!

Our yearly missions trip is also a highlight and a time of great growth together in the Lord! Some places we have served are: Shepherd's Ministry, Hurricane Katrina Relief, Angel House, Skyview Baptist Ranch, Center for Student Missions (CSM); and our youth have gone on many short-term mission trips on their own.
