The teen years are critical in development of our children.  These are the years when we begin to pass the baton of privilege and responsibility to them. 

Youth today are surrounded by so many temptations-- drugs, alcohol, pre-marital sex, and so much more. It is at this time in their life, especially, that they  need a place of support, encouragement, and hope. At Colonial Avenue Baptist, we offer an exciting, growing youth ministry that will make a positive difference in the life of your teenager. Through a balanced program of fun activities, solid application-oriented Bible study, and regular service opportunities, your junior high and senior high students will grow in faith.

You might be surprised to learn that the social science research is clear-- youth who are involved in church do better in school, have lower rates of involvement in negative behaviors such as drug, alcohol, delinquency, and teen pregnancy, and have a closer relationship with their families. A family-oriented church like ours can make a tremendous difference! Let us help your junior and senior high student find success in running the race of life!
