Foundation Youth Group
At Lebanon Valley Bible Church, we believe the teenage years are an important time for young people to grow in their understanding of God's Word, develop meaningful friendships, and establish a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
The Foundation Youth Ministry is dedicated to helping teens build their lives on the unchanging truth of Scripture. Through biblical teaching, discipleship, fellowship, and opportunities to serve, we seek to equip young people to stand firm in their faith and live boldly for Christ.
Wednesday evenings are the heart of The Foundation Youth Ministry!
Each week, teens gather for a time of biblical teaching, fellowship, encouragement, and opportunities to grow in their relationship with Christ.
Our goal is to provide a welcoming environment where teens can ask questions, build friendships, and discover how God's Word applies to their everyday lives.
Our vision is to see young people firmly rooted in the Word of God, growing in their relationship with Jesus Christ, and becoming spiritually mature adults who are fully devoted to Him.
We desire to cultivate a generation of young men and women who know what they believe, understand why they believe it, and are prepared to live out their faith in an ever-changing world.
Everything we do at The Foundation is centered on God's Word and our desire to see teens grow in Christ. Our ministry is committed to:
-
Teaching Biblical Truth: Equipping teens with a strong understanding of Scripture and sound biblical doctrine. (2 Timothy 3:16; 4:2)
-
Encouraging Spiritual Growth: Helping teens develop a personal walk with Christ and grow in godly character and integrity. (Psalm 101:2–4)
-
Building Meaningful Relationships: Creating a welcoming community where teens encourage one another, develop lasting friendships, and grow together in faith. (Hebrews 10:24–25)
-
Sharing the Gospel: Proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ and equipping teens to confidently share their faith with others. (Luke 19:10; Mark 16:15)
-
Serving Others: Providing opportunities for teens to use their gifts to serve within the church, local community, and through missions outreach. (Acts 1:8)
-
Developing Future Leaders: Encouraging teens to be examples of Christlike character, leadership, and faithfulness in their everyday lives. (1 Timothy 4:12)
We believe that parents have the primary responsibility and greatest opportunity to influence their children's spiritual growth. Our desire is to come alongside families, supporting and encouraging parents as they disciple their teenagers.
We recognize that the time we spend with your teen is just one small part of their life, and we consider it a privilege to partner with you in pointing them toward Jesus Christ.
Together, we want to help young people develop a faith that is firmly established in God's Word and continues to grow throughout their lives.
Building friendships and making lasting memories are important parts of our ministry. Throughout the year, we plan a variety of activities and social events that give teens opportunities to connect, have fun, and grow together.
We typically host a special activity or event each month, along with our annual winter retreat, which provides an opportunity for teens to step away from their regular routines and focus on spiritual growth and fellowship.
We believe teens are not just the future of the church—they are an important part of the church today!
The Foundation encourages young people to discover and use their God-given gifts through opportunities to serve in music, teaching, and other areas of church ministry.
Our teens also participate in outreach opportunities at Londonderry Village and other local retirement communities, sharing Christ's love through service and encouragement.
One of the highlights of our ministry is our summer missions outreach. Through mission trip opportunities, teens are challenged to step outside their comfort zones, serve others, and put their faith into action.
Past trips have included serving at Broken Arrow Bible Ranch in New Mexico, where teens have had the opportunity to minister to children and share the love of Christ.
These experiences help teens develop a heart for missions and a greater understanding of how God can use them to make an eternal difference.
We would love for your teen to be part of The Foundation Youth Ministry! Whether your family is new to Lebanon Valley Bible Church or your teen is looking for a place to grow in faith and build friendships, we invite you to join us.
