"How can a young person maintain a pure life?
By guarding it according to your instructions."
~Psalm 119:9
We are glad you're interested in finding out more about our youth ministry! We believe that everyone needs a place to belong and where they can learn about Jesus in a safe, trusted environment. We also believe in regular Christian service for our community, and of course having lots of fun together!
We believe in building strong connections between the church and home, as home is the primary place where faith is formed. If you're a parent browsing this page, thank you for trusting us to be a part of your teen's spiritual journey. It's a true honor.
If you're a teen browsing this page, know that you and your friends are welcome-- really. Whether you're a strong Christian, a seeking Christian, or even if you're not sure you even believe in Christ right now, you are welcome.
There's always room for one more!!!
"You are young, but don’t let anyone treat you as if you are not important. Be an example to show the believers how they should live. Show them by what you say, by the way you live, by your love, by your faith, and by your pure life."
~1 Timothy 4:12 (ERV)

EXPLORE THE BIBLE: STUDENTS
Fall 2026 | We Are Chosen By God
Whether you are already following Jesus, are just beginning to explore your faith, or aren’t quite sure what you believe yet—you are welcome here!
This fall, Explore the Bible: Students will take us through Scripture as we discover what it means to be chosen by God, trust His promises, and understand His plan of redemption through Christ. Students will see how God’s Word speaks into real life and challenges us to grow in faith, live in unity, and share the hope of Jesus with others.
Our Sunday School studies are interactive and discussion-based, not lecture-based, giving students the opportunity to ask questions, talk through what they’re learning, and grow alongside one another.
Come as you are. Bring your questions. Let’s explore God’s Word together!

Youth Events
Hampstead Baptist Church Student Ministry stays active, offering various recreational, service-oriented, and spiritual opportunities throughout the year. The goal is to balance youth-only events with intergenerational events that include youth and adults. For any overnight retreat, a permission/medical release form is required. This form is good for one school year (and subsequent summer) and must be renewed each year in August.

LEADERSHIP & Parent Resources
HBC is blessed to have a team of adults who love Jesus and teenagers who are willing to serve in the youth ministry-- some directly and others behind-the-scenes. Our leaders seek to come alongside parents in discipling teenagers, understanding that parental influence is the primary influence over any child/teenager. There are multiple parent resources below as well. Meet the team:
