Burkemont Baptist Church
Student Ministries
Burkemont has a long history of exciting ministry to youth, grades 7 through 12 and college students
18 to 24. The purpose of this ministry is twofold: 1) to introduce young people to the Lord
Jesus Christ through a clear presentation of the gospel, and 2) to build young Christian
lives by helping them to become mature disciples.
These objectives are met through Christian Discipleship classes, weekly age-graded Bible
studies, mission service, fellowship and leadership opportunities. In addition these regularly
scheduled activities are Summer Camps, Mission Trips, a Fall Retreat, and a Winter Ski Retreat.
A third facet of our Burkemont Youth Ministry is ministry to parents. Parental involvement
is a welcomed and necessary ingredient to what we accomplish. Monthly planning and informational
meetings are scheduled to allow parents to volunteer services or give helpful feed back.
Parent - Youth mission opportunities and family oriented fellowship trips are two specific
ways we partner to influence our student population.
Student Ministries
Discipleship
Students meet weekly for Discipleship on Wednesday nights. We gather at 6:30pm in
the Youth Parlor of the Family for Praise and Worship. Our large group time Life Center
is followed by small groups divided by age and gender where we apply biblical truth to
a variety of topics. We also look at the basics of the Christian faith and what it means to
be a believer.
Missions
Quarterly outreach projects for our church and community are planned for students and
their families. Through service at Burke Mission Soup Kitchen, Habitat for Humanity or
the Salvation Army, along with service to our Senior Adults, our students live out their faith.
Seasonal projects with Samaritan’s purse and Summer projects with World Changers
complete the scope of our mission effort.
Fellowship
Concerts, Monthly Sunday School Celebrations, Ski Trips, White Water Rafting and
Seasonal Retreats are just some of the exciting things we do to build our family of
faith and create life-long relationships with one another. Our activity calendar is
pretty full and provides a great variety of options for both family and youth only fun.
