Summer 2024
What We Teach
The HBC Youth Leadership Team (comprised of adult volunteer leaders, parent representatives, student representatives, and staff) all prayerfully work together to select curriculum/topics that offer study options that are meaningful for the youth in their various stages of faith and spiritual maturity. Whether a Christian or "Seeker" (not-yet-Christian), these options guide students to deepen their faith or perhaps to place faith in Christ for the first time. No matter what, all students are welcome. All our studies have small group discussion integrations and are not lecture-based. See details below.
Fruit of the Spirit
Summer 2024 will be a fruitful adventure of learning about the Fruit of the Spirit-- Evidence of God's Work in Christians' Lives. The fruit of the Spirit… Patience? Kindness? Gentleness? Self-control? Is it possible that getting students today to experience these qualities in their lives is too big a job for even the Holy Spirit? OF COURSE NOT! The truth is, now is the perfect time for students to begin to allow the Spirit of God to permeate their lives in ways they’ve never experienced. This series will encourage students to think about what kind of ‘fruit’ they are producing. These qualities
don’t come naturally for most students, but guess what? They don’t come naturally for anybody! It’s God’s Spirit at work within us that produces the kind of fruit listed in this popular passage.
We're pairing this series with a different "fruit of the week" snack and a "Fruit Hunt" a couple of times this summer, too.

Youth Events
Hampstead Baptist Church Student Ministry stays active, offering various recreational, service-oriented, and spiritual opportunities throughout the year. The slideshow above highlights our Summer 2024 calendar, giving an idea of what to expect. The school year calendar will be posted in mid-to-late August. 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.
