The Verge Ministry is a strategically specific ministry within the student ministry dedicated to equipping and empowering middle school aged students and their families to follow Jesus wholeheartedly at school, on a team, and in the home. Because we understand how important these young adolescent years are, we’ve placed a special emphasis on this age group at First Baptist Benton. Our young students need mentors they can trust, Christian friends they can count on, and leaders who will teach them the life-changing Gospel. The Verge is a community of students and leaders who come from all walks of life to become transformed by God’s Word. We’re awkward, full of energy, and passionate about becoming more like Jesus!
We build relationships, build on the biblical foundations laid in kids ministry, empower students to live out their faith in their daily lives, and equip them to bring their circles of influence in to begin following Jesus with them. At the Verge, the Lord is always up to something! We have two regularly scheduled programs throughout the semester that are designed to foster community and discipleship. We offer a Midweek service on Wednesday Nights from 6-7pm where students sing songs, learn from Scripture, and have a ton of fun together in a way that a middle schooler can relate to. Expect a fast-paced and energy filled night! Second, we offer Life Groups before our Sunday Morning Service from 9:15-10:15am. Life Groups truly are the heartbeat of our ministry. In Life Groups students are divided by gender and grade with two Life Group leaders. Groups build relationships with each other, study God’s Word, and discuss practical ways of living out Biblical Truths. If there could be one thing we would encourage students to get involved in, it’s this!
We have a number of volunteer opportunities.
