Helping middle and high school students know Christ, grow in their faith, and build their lives on the truth of God’s Word.

Students & Youth Ministry

Discipling the Next Generation

The student ministry at Third Baptist Church exists to help students become faithful followers of Jesus Christ through the teaching of Scripture, intentional discipleship, and meaningful Christian community.

We believe students need more than entertainment or surface-level encouragement—they need the truth of God’s Word and strong relationships that point them toward Christ.

Our desire is to help students develop a faith that is rooted in Scripture, strengthened through discipleship, and lived out faithfully in everyday life.

Scripture References:
Psalm 119:9–11, Ecclesiastes 12:1, 1 Timothy 4:12, Colossians 2:6–7
