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 at 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!

A Verge Life Group leader is a person committed to a year of discipleship with a small group of kids. They are the ones who faithfully and consistently show up each Sunday morning to lead the LifeGroup in bible study and commit to engaging them outside the walls of the church throughout the year.

The Verge has many special events in its ministry strategy that help to build community, foster faith, and encourage discipleship. Examples include Fall Retreat, summer camp, Mission Arlington, and Reality Weekend. You would be a part of those by attending and carrying out the vision for each event.
