Glorifying God by rooting teens in Christ to grow into adult disciples.
"6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving." - Colossians 2:6-7
WELCOME!
Whether you are a student, a parent/guardian, or someone interested in helping with youth ministry, we hope this page is a helpful resource for you.
Radiate Youth Group is Laguna Chinese Baptist Church’s community of teenagers (7th-12th grade), their families, and other adults who strive to glorify God by rooting teens in Christ to grow into adult disciples. The infamous "teen years" provide a unique opportunity for teenagers to grow in their faith as they become more independent as young adults.
To accomplish our mission, we need:
- The Bible:
- We need the Word of God to guide us in everything we do. Colossians 3:16; 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Practically, this means we keep the Bible at the center of our teaching and discussion times together.
- Each Other:
- God created us and saves us to be in a church community as believers, so it is essential that we be dependent on each other. Romans 12:4-5; Galatians 6:2. Practically, this means we value having fun together, deepening friendships, and being connected with the rest of the church.
- The Holy Spirit Changing Us:
- It takes the work of the Spirit of God to change us. We cannot change ourselves. John 15; Galatians 3:2-5. Practically, this means we value prayer and relying on God for everything in our ministry.
Opportunities for our teens and their families:
Here are some opportunities for teens to grow in their faith, become rooted in Christ, and prepare to become young adult disciples. For more information, click on each opportunity below.
