Active. Engaged. Connected.
First Baptist Church of Ravenswood has made youth fellowship opportunities a priority, and we have invested our resources to make them one of the most active in our region. We have youth groups for all ages. We have a nursery each Sunday morning that is cared for by volunteers who have undergone background checks. Did you now that all of our volunteers who work with kids in our church must undergo a criminal background check? Your child’s safety is our top priority in everything we do. Did you know that we offer to send our kids involved in our youth programs to church camp at no cost to the parent?
Jr/Sr High Youth (Grades 6-12)
The Jr./Sr. High Youth Group called Moving Mountains Youth meets on Sunday evenings at 6:00 with Youth Pastor Ethan Tawney. The youth at FBC have been involved in beach mission projects, a church card ministry, random acts of kindness, teen-applicable Bible study, and simply having a great time. Pastor Ethan and his wife Zoe team up to ensure girls and boys have a great time at Youth Night. All youth can experience youth camps at no charge to the family. Every meeting involves a Bible lesson, food, and an activity. Let’s get your teens involved in our youth group. Call the church for more information. Your kids will love Pastor Ethan. If you attend a different church but your church doesn’t have a youth group, you are still welcome to attend our evening youth groups. We have several who do.
Teens Volunteering at Brothers Keeper Summer Mission Project
See several of our teens have been involved in Brother’s Keeper Mission Camp in Jackson County. This project gives our teens a chance to connect with other teens from across the state and from other nearby states. We are proud to have teens involved along with a wonderful crew leader like licensed contractor Al Arrington who is a deacon in our church. To learn more about Brother’s Keeper, please visit their website here.

For the Younger Kids (K-5th Grades)
God’s Cadets is the younger youth group at the church involving children from age pre-K through 5th grade, Sunday evenings at 6:00. This group has been known to participate in fun activities such as visiting the Fun Barn amusement center, watching children’s movies, attending the children’s fall festival, fall rallies, painting projects, and more. We have great leaders including Jane Moore, Ashlee Wyant, and Brittany Pistelli. These ladies are all kind, compassionate, and funny, and they help make God’s Cadets fun for the little kids in our church. We also have a junior church program during worship on Sunday mornings, where this age group can learn a lesson on their own level while preaching is underway in the church. Did we mention we also have a nursery every Sunday morning during worship? Call us and let us tell you more about God’s Cadets. Let’s get your kids and grandkids involved. If you attend another church and don’t have a youth program in the evening, you are welcome to bring your kids to the youth fellowship activities.
If you have children, please call us at (304) 273-9910 and we’ll make sure you have all the information you need to get them involved.
