Beacon

Why Beacon?
Beacons help guide navigators to their destinations. We call ourselves Beacon because we believe our group exists to be a light to help guide others on their journey as we journey to know Jesus.

Worship
Purpose: to glorify God and to enjoy him forever

“Energize” 11:15am (Every 4th Sunday)
Youth Zone @ YPBC (Rm. 310) starting January 2010)

We believe that worshipping God is critical in the formation of faith and therefore believe that youth need to worship God in their own way. The Energize service will be consist of live worship music and interactive messages using multimedia and pop culture. Energize service will launch on January 24, 2010. We are very excited about this service and all are invited!

Discipleship
Purpose: to help students become mature followers of Jesus Christ through Holy Habits & relevant teaching
“Pwn Your Faith” 10am (Every Sunday)
Youth Zone @ YPBC (Rm. 310)
Small Group Bible Study for Jr. High & Sr. High

The term “Pwn” is a slang derived from the word “own.” we believe that in order to become a disciple of Jesus Christ, you need to work at it and make your faith yours. You need to take ownership of your pwn faith (see what I did there?).
This year, we will follow a curriculum written by a group of youth pastors (including me). The curriculum is called “I dare you...” and is based on the idea of cultivating an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

Parents’ Corner
We believe that parents play a vital role in the lives of their youth and more specifically in the area of spiritual growth. Experts say that one can tell the level of the youth’s spirituality by examining the level of the parent’s spirituality. We want to help and guide you in this challenging of endeavor of raising your children in the fear of the Lord.
We have a blog setup for our youth group that consists of newsletters for parents, an event calendar, permission forms and other pertinent information.
