The Student Ministry of FBC Prattville is committed to the five biblical purposes of the church. As students connect with our ministry it is our goal to guide them to experience growth through each of those five areas:
WORSHIP
Worship is not a "spectator event"; it requires participation.
• Students participate in the 8:30, 9:45 or 11:00 a.m. worship services on Sunday morning and are a part of age-graded Bible study in the 9:45 or 11:00 a.m. Sunday School hours.
• Our Junior High and Senior High Choirs rehearse at 4:30 p.m. each Sunday night and often lead in worship services.
• Student led worship also draws us together each Wednesday night at 6 p.m. for "Club 412". Our student Praise Band leads a time of praise and worship followed by a time of study from God’s Word. Our name comes from I Timothy 4:12 - "Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, life, love, faith and purity." Come worship the Lord with us!
EVANGELISM
Our students are encouraged to lead a lifestyle of evangelism following Jesus’ command to "Go and make disciplesof all nations…" (Matt. 28:19-20). The church supports the role of students to be missionaries to their school campuses. Opportunities for evangelism training and outreach are fostered through encouragement to be involved in "Fellowship of Christian Students" on their school campuses; our "Student F.A.I.T.H." program, offered in the fall; missions groups (Acteens and Challengers); summer mission projects; and special outreach events. Help us to intentionally share the"Good News"!
DISCIPLESHIP
The student disciple is encouraged to grow through a plan of daily quiet times, involvement in weekly Bible study through our Sunday School and "Club 412", and accountability to a small group through our DiscipleYouth ministry.Come grow with us!
MINISTRY
Students are not just the "church of tomorrow" they are indeed the church of today. Students play a vital role in reaching out and ministering to the needs of others in our community and around the world. It is our responsibility to provide opportunities for students to be able to serve and use their gifts and abilities for the work of God’s kingdom. Students may minister to others through various projects during the year:
Missions groups ("Acteens" for girls/ "Challengers"for guys), mission projects, praise band, Student newsletter, choir tour, creative ministry teams(drama/puppets), and more. There is a place for everyone to serve!
FELLOWSHIP
For believers, fellowship brings strength and encouragement for living the abundant life. For pre-Christians, we are able to share the joy of knowing Jesus through just plain fun! Through the year students may share in times of "hanging out", trips, concerts, lock-ins, and after-church fellowships. Come find your place in our "FIRST"family!
