Philosophy of Ministry
Youth Ministry consists of ministry to three groups; students, their parents and families, and volunteer leaders. All three groups will be equipped to enable youth to; know who Jesus is (John 1:1-5, 11:25-26), respond to His call for salvation (Romans 10:9-10), develop a Christ-like life (John 14:12), and further God's Kingdom (Matthew 28:19-20).
Please join us in welcoming Michael to Mt. Gilead Baptist Church
