Teen Ministries

The teen years can be quite challenging, confusing and crazy! A solid foundation is a must for successfully navigating this time. At Cleveland Baptist Church we believe that the only foundation for life is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The Cleveland Baptist Church has been introducing teenagers to the Lord for 51 years. During this time we have had just 4 youth pastors!

Teens will be strengthened through a weekly Bible Study time with other teenagers at 10:00 a.m. each Sunday morning. The High School department meets in Room 202 and the Jr. High department meets in Room 201. There is also a monthly activity that is planned for teens in the youth department. In addition to this each year’s summer calendar is packed with three exciting events: Youth Camp, SMITE (missions trip) and the Great Lakes Youth Conference.

Come join us this Sunday. We hope to see you soon!

Teen camp is held each year at Camp CoBeAc in Michigan. Next year’s camp will be held Monday, June 7 – Saturday, June 12.

Preaching for Teenagers
Preaching has been and continues to be the emphasis at the Cleveland Baptist Church (1 Corinthians 1:17-21). We believe in powerful preaching that speaks to the hearts of the listener. We especially believe that solid preaching is essential in the lives of teenagers. Listen to these messages preached to teenagers at the Cleveland Baptist Church…
